The man has worked as a teacher, but police say the suspected offences are not connected to his job or workplace. He has also been an instructor in scouting and Salvation Army activities.

Police say all but one of the alleged acts took place in connection with the man’s hobby, scouting. They are believed to have occurred mainly in Jyväskylä between October 2020 and February 2026.

The investigation covered suspected aggravated sexual abuse of a child, sexual abuse of a child, coercion into a sexual act, aggravated rape of a child and sexual assault of a child.

The man was remanded in custody in March and remains detained. The case has been sent for consideration of charges, which must be filed by 29 October.

Singapore-based DayOne is building the facility in Kiveriö, with operations due to begin in 2027. The Permit and Supervisory Agency (LVV) classified some application attachments as confidential. They included emissions information and stormwater plans.

The agency’s public interest oversight unit said in its statement that emissions data generally cannot be kept secret on grounds such as commercial confidentiality. It cited environmental protection legislation and the public’s rights to information, participation and appeal. The property company provided a table of noise and air emissions but said it had submitted more detailed figures confidentially to the agency, including generator fuel capacities and quantities.

The data centre will normally draw electricity from the local grid. Its backup generators will run on light fuel oil and are intended for power outages, although they may also be tested periodically. The permit requires the company to keep noise as low as possible and sets limits of 55 decibels during the day and 50 at night at affected locations, including for generator tests and related traffic. The permit notes that prolonged power cuts are rare in Lahti.

Nearby residents have already raised concerns about noise from construction. The city of Lahti is responsible for assessing construction noise. Once the facility is complete, water chillers and electrical substation transformers will also produce noise. Forty-eight water chillers are planned for the roof, with an enclosed noise barrier around them.

The facility’s cooling system will use refrigerants in a closed circuit. It is expected to use about 3,000 cubic metres of water a year, mainly in office and staff facilities. Heat pumps will recover heat from the cooling systems to warm the building.

The permit decision is available on the agency’s website, and appeals can be filed with the administrative court until 11 November.

There was no written communication between Faroese and Danish authorities about the flag on Danish military uniforms. In the second half of 2025, however, the Faroese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade received informal information from Denmark’s Ministry of Defence and Danish Defence that personnel had begun wearing patches featuring the Danish, Faroese and Greenlandic flags.

Johannesen also said that it is the police commissioner, not the prime minister, who is responsible for ensuring that the flag law is followed.

The new icon replaces the familiar outline of a mobile phone and banknotes with a one-eyed smiley, while keeping the app’s classic blue colour.

Vipps MobilePay says the app itself will remain unchanged, and users do not need to take any action. “Everything will work as usual from the very first day,” said Jeanette Hertzum, the company’s country manager in Denmark.

The rebranding follows the 2022 merger of MobilePay in Denmark and Finland with Norway’s Vipps to create a shared Nordic mobile wallet that can be used across the Nordic countries.

Police said the network, whose members were citizens of several countries, also brought in hundreds of thousands of tablets classified as narcotics. The operation was directed from Finland, while people were recruited abroad to store and distribute the drugs.

Most of the drugs were amphetamine and cocaine. Police suspect several hundred kilograms were amphetamine and about 180 kilograms cocaine. The drugs were brought into Finland in several shipments and distributed mainly in the capital region, using numerous short-term rental apartments for storage and distribution. Sales were made particularly through messaging apps.

Police seized more than 100 kilograms of drugs and nearly 200,000 euros in cash. The pre-trial investigation is nearing completion and will move to prosecutors for consideration. The suspected offences are mainly aggravated narcotics offences and aggravated money laundering.

The council says Søndergaard’s content features energy drinks, alcohol and hidden advertising. It believes a significant share of his audience is under 18, and says businesses must take special care to protect young consumers.

“It is particularly energy drinks, but also alcohol and hidden advertising,” said Winnie Gråsbøll, director of the Consumer Council. She said alcohol was included because Søndergaard drinks and promotes it in some videos.

The council reviewed the partnership last year but did not file a complaint at the time. It has since examined material from Søndergaard’s channels and says it is “almost impossible” to find a segment in which the Red Bull logo does not appear. Gråsbøll said the partnership had continued at undiminished strength, prompting the complaint.

Under Denmark’s Marketing Practices Act, marketing directed at people under 18 must not mention or depict alcohol or other products considered unsuitable for children and young people.

DR said it had sought comment from both Søndergaard and Red Bull but received no response. In an interview with B.T.’s media podcast Q&CO last year, Søndergaard said he did not feel he made content for children before ending the call.

Søndergaard livestreamed continuously for 14 days in 2025 and later said more than 857,000 unique Danish viewers had watched on Twitch.

Construction is expected to remain weak next year, says Anu Kärkkäinen, a director at the Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT. Uncertainty over the economy and interest rates is slowing home sales, which is also affecting new building projects.

In September, Lahti paused zoning work for the Luhta block in Paavola. The site is planned to include a tower hotel, homes and commercial premises. Norwegian hotel group Strawberry is expected to operate a Clarion hotel there, but financing has not yet been secured.

Tiina Luhtanen, chief executive of Luhta-Kiinteistöt, said financing talks had progressed, though no agreement had been reached. The pause in zoning does not mean the hotel project has been abandoned.

Lahti planning director Juha Helminen said the city had suspended zoning work when landowners lacked a clear plan for how to develop their sites. Owners were also reluctant to commit, he said, because property taxes would begin to reflect the new zoning once it became legally binding.

The city plans to restart the work when the projects become clearer. The purpose of the Luhta block zoning plan is to bring the rules into line with construction already completed and planned for the future.

Helminen said pausing the work could save public money by preventing the city from commissioning new studies when earlier ones become outdated. Kärkkäinen said the move was unusual and could instead increase costs if studies have to be repeated after becoming outdated during the pause.

Kärkkäinen said mixed-use projects combining hotels, homes and commercial space were particularly difficult to advance in the current economic climate. She said cities should consider ways to support projects rather than suspend their zoning plans.

Several significant zoning plans in Lahti are continuing. Plans for developing the travel centre and Kisapuisto, as well as a plan enabling a water sports centre, are due to be considered by a city committee in October.
