It is the intelligence company Semantic Visions that has analyzed how the illegal immigration is planned on Kurdish and Arab online forums.
After Poland crushed human trafficking via Belarus, it is now Finland that is marketed as a target country for a new route via Russia.
– Right now it is very difficult to say whether this will result in a new route for migrant flows and whether we will see people arriving at the Finnish border, for example . But on social media, the reactions have been very positive, says Semantic Vision's head of research Monika Richter to the radio channel Radio Free Europe.
According to Richter, there is a “newfound enthusiasm” that a new way into the EU has been found.
Finland's security police Skypo confirms that it is aware of the marketing.
“As one of the EU's external border countries, Finland follows developments very closely. But we can not comment on our operational tasks more than that.” , writes Milla Meretniemi, Director of Communications of the Security Police, in an email to Hufvudstadsbladet.
