Agence France-PressePublished: 12:33pm, 2 Oct 2026Updated: 12:44pm, 2 Oct 2026Finland is investigating a slew of suspected break-ins at the homes of members of parliament, which the prime minister said could be linked to a foreign power.

Following media reports, speaker of parliament Jussi Halla-aho on Thursday said parliament had been made aware of a “significant” number of apparent intrusions at the homes of several politicians.

Finland, which shares a 1,340km (830-mile) border with Russia, has been on high alert since the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022.

“I cannot comment precisely on the number of suspected cases known to us, but in any event, it is significant,” Halla-aho told a press conference.
