Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding statute of limitations for criminal prosecution of minor offenses.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the appeal against the lower court's decision to reject the prosecution due to the expiration of the limitation period. The prosecution was initiated after the statutory time limit for minor offenses had passed, while the defense argued that the limitation period had expired. The court held that the specific provisions governing limitation periods for minor offenses were not met, resulting in the dismissal of the appeal.
