Parliamentary group leaders warned of possible intrusion into MPs' residences
Chairpersons of parliamentary groups were alerted last week to a potential breach of members' homes, which officials said could involve foreign actors.
During a recent parliamentary session, the first deputy speaker Paula Risikko and security chief Aaro Toivonen briefed group leaders on a security concern tied to the upcoming election. They warned that foreign-state activity might target MPs' private residences. The briefing's full details were not released publicly. Toivonen later told reporters that there is no immediate danger to the parliament or to personal safety.
