Huovinen and his wife were arrested 17 October last year and both were remanded in custody until mid-December 2023.
Exactly what they would have done has not been revealed and the investigation has been kept completely secret.
Now the prosecutor suddenly announces that Johan Huovinen has been removed from the investigation.
— The preliminary investigation against the man has been closed today. The preliminary investigation against the woman who was detained at the same time on suspicion of the same crime is still ongoing, says senior prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist at the National Security Unit in a press release.
The case is handled by the Security Police.
The man's lawyer, Thomas Olsson, says that the announcement was expected and that his client is relieved by the prosecutor's decision.
