The russian nationals who were detained in Finland in late April on suspicion of evading sanctions have been released from custody. 

 

A third russian student suspected of a gross regulatory offense has been released from custody. According to the district court, instead of imprisonment, the man is now banned from leaving the country. 

 

It is noted that he is suspected of being a member of a group that exported so-called dual-use goods from Finland to russia, which can be used for military purposes. 

 

Two other students were released in the summer.
