According to the Police, the acceptance of a bribe is related to residence permits.[*]" Not so long time ago Finnish Police were 'successfully' able to drug a family for a removal flight, not a mention the Frenchman, who police arrested, because he was making snow-angels and playing with the first snow. Since these news became public, it is very like, that this bribery case in an other face lifting to bless the Finnish Police work and Finland emigration policy lining. "According to the information given to the STT by a government source, the civil official is under suspect of having received bribes up a sum of ten's of thousands EURs during the last two and half year time. According to the police, they believe bribes having been particularly money instead of for example treats.[*]". So now you know, how to get it, were to get it, from whom to get it? It is no wonder Finnish companies are moving outside Finland, since police have time to inspect 'such a huge sums', but they don't have time to inspect private sector financial fraud cases starting from million EURs. How could the statistics tell the truth about our corruption, since those most corrupted in charge of this system? This is just an other ice-berg at the north pole, to which some police bumped into either by accident or for a revenge. The Directorate of Immigration is 'a funny place' even according to a friend of mine, who simply cried and told be, that they had written all kinds of lies about his/her son into Finnish Government register and now he had to leave Finland because of these false record markings. Only comfort I told him/her was 'never mind, that is exactly what Finnish Government Officials do to us as well - they fake our information into these registers as well to make themselves rich'. Let us just hope no-one pays any attention to this Government, specially after USA published a research with an observation, that Finland has risen into the Russian level in human trade. Only advice I have been giving to Foreign Intelligence community is 'get rid of those lawyers, judges, solicitors, government officials and cops before they start any war', and I can not see any reason to change this advice to these people - corruption is a bad thing to all of us. You see my fiend, the bad thing about ice-bergs is, that only a certain mount of it is on top of the surface, and if you happen to crash into one in a deep waters, then it may take you down as well.
