Finland’s KKO countermands sentences in closely watched sex crimes case

THE SUPREME COURT of Finland (KKO) has countermanded the sex-crimes sentences handed down to Anneli Auer and Jens Kukka, reports YLE.

KKO on 5 December ruled that the sentences should be countermanded and the closely watched case remanded to the court of first instance on grounds that there are very weighty reasons for re-examining the culpability of the defendants.
