Risto Mikael Riihimäki, owner of Rent ja Kalusto Oy, has been sentenced to three years and 8 months in prison for a aggravated regulatory offence. The company delivered 135 trucks and 29 trailers to Russia, circumventing the EU sanctions. In court, the company claimed that the items were destined for Kazakhstan or Turkey, but Finnish officials were able to recover the communications between Riihimäki and his Russian contacts, making it clear where the items were really destined. The company was sentenced to lose the 608275€ profits from these dealings, fined 10000€, and equipment worth 6 million € confiscated.
