Someone is entering the homes of Finnish MPs — and deliberately leaving signs behind

[william]

Several members of Finland’s parliament have reported suspicious visits to their homes and apartments. There have already been nearly two dozen cases.The most unsettling part: there are no signs of forced entry, and nothing has been stolen. But MPs return home to find doors left open, lights switched on, or other details clearly changed while they were away.

Parliament Speaker Jussi Halla-aho says the intruders may have deliberately left traces behind — essentially to send the message: “we were here.” So far, there appears to be no obvious connection between those targeted. Police have already launched an inquiry. It remains unclear who is behind the intrusions. Unclear — although somehow everyone seems to have the same suspicion, isn't it?

• Parliament Speaker Jussi Halla-aho confirmed a significant number of cases at a press conference and noted signs may have been intentionally left to be noticed; Helsinki Police and National Bureau of Investigation launched a preliminary probe.
• Finnish PM Petteri Orpo stated a foreign actor is "very possible," referencing Russia's history of election interference ahead of Finland's 2027 parliamentary vote amid ongoing hybrid threats. Grok
