About this statute

This chapter concerns the scope of Finnish criminal law. Riksåklagarens förordnande behövs inte i vissa nordiska gränsöverskridande fall, om brottet begåtts i Danmark, Island, Norge eller Sverige och åklagaren på gärningsorten har begärt att saken ska behandlas vid en finsk domstol. A court decides applications to extend the limitation period for prosecution; the prosecutor or an eligible injured party may apply, and the application must be made in writing before the limitation period expires. If an offence was committed in the activity of a company, foundation, or other legal person, a corporate fine may be imposed on the prosecutor’s request if that sanction is provided for the offence in this law. Åklagaren may refrain from seeking punishment against a legal person.
