Police suspect four men of funding PKK
The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) is classified as a terrorist organisation not only in Turkey but also in the EU and the US.
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is investigating four men for potential involvement in financing the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a designated terrorist organization. Among the suspects, two are also believed to have taken part in the PKK's activities. The preliminary investigation, initiated in early 2025, was prompted by evidence suggesting several individuals were engaged in the consistent collection of funds for the PKK.
The suspects reportedly traveled across Finland, visiting businesses owned by people from foreign backgrounds with the intention of gathering financial support for the PKK's operations. According to the NBI, this was the primary motive behind the suspects' frequent visits. The PKK is a militant group advocating for Kurdish self-governance, and is classified as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States, and the European Union, which includes Finland.
Given the nature of the case involving suspected terrorism offenses, the final decision on whether to bring charges will be made by the deputy prosecutor general.
