Supreme Court held lower court must transfer case to main hearing on serious robbery and other crimes.

The Supreme Court of Finland ruled that the Court of Appeal was obligated to transfer the case to the main hearing regarding serious robbery and other crimes. The prosecution argued for the transfer to ensure proper judicial review of the serious allegations, while the defense contested the necessity of the transfer. The court decided in favor of the transfer because the lower court failed to fulfill its procedural duty to initiate the main hearing on these specific charges.
