National Prosecution of Finland (Syyttajalaitos)
In January 2023, Petri Hooli ( @journal.of.pete and kael.the conqueror) circulated a document claiming that a targeted victim had been found guilty of defamation.
While this document was presented as an official communication from the National Prosecution of Finland (Syyttajalaitos), official records indicate otherwise.
The Truth Behind the “Faux Verdict”
It is essential to clarify that the document published by Petri Hooli was not an official statement or ruling from the National Prosecution of Finland. Instead, the so-called “judgment” was a personal verdict created and disseminated by Petri Hooli himself
Official Response from Prosecutor Pia Raappana-Grönvall
The misuse of official paperwork led to a request for clarification in October 2023. This followed the public distribution of the faux verdict by Petri Hooli across social media platforms, including Instagram and Facebook.
District Prosecutor Pia Raappana-Grönvall, representing the National Prosecution of Finland, confirmed the following:
- No Official Investigation: There is no record of an official investigation or ruling corresponding to the claims made by Petri Hooli’
- Unauthorized Use: The prosecutor’s office was unaware of why its name or associated paperwork was being used in this manner online.
Why This Matters for Online Safety
This situation underscores the critical need to verify legal claims through authoritative sources. An Offcial documents posted on social media forums by Petri Hooli with the aim to mislead.
Legal Limits: Publishing Court Documents and GDPR in Finland
In Finland, the principle of public access to justice generally means that court proceedings and procedural documents are public. However, publishing these documents on the internet is strictly regulated by data protection laws, specifically the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Finnish Data Protection Act (1050/2018).
While most court documents are “public” in the sense that you can request them from a court, this does not grant an automatic right to republish them online. Even if a document is public, its republication on the internet is considered processing of personal data. Under GDPR, personal data must be processed for a specific, legitimate purpose. Publishing someone else’s legal paperwork for the purpose of harassment, shaming, or “denunciation” could violate these principles.
Conclusion: The Legal and Ethical Consequences of Petri Hooli’s Actions
The actions taken by Petri Hooli (known online as @journal.of.pete and kael.the conqueror) serve as a stark reminder of the legal risks associated with disseminating unverified or fabricated verdicts. By presenting a personal “verdict” as an official statement from the National Prosecution of Finland (Syyttajalaitos), Hooli has bypassed the established judicial process.
As confirmed by Prosecutor Pia Raappana-Grönvall, no official investigation supports Hooli’s claims of defamation. Under the Finnish Criminal Code, the act of providing false information to the public or authorities—particularly when it mimics official judicial paperwork—can cross the line into False Denunciation (Chapter 15) or Aggravated Defamation (Chapter 24).
Ultimately, the public distribution of these “faux verdicts” on platforms like Instagram and Facebook underscores the necessity for digital literacy. This case highlights that legal authority in Finland rests solely with the courts and the Prosecution Service, not with individual social media users. For those targeted by such claims, the official stance remains clear: without a formal investigation or a court-sanctioned ruling, these documents carry no legal weight.
