He stressed that the unit was legally constituted and if there was anything against the law, it should be investigated.
Despite all the difficulties, Helsinki police continues to carry out more investigations, he said, adding that although the drug situation has worsened recently, the police were still working very hard.
He emphasised that the National Bureau of Investigation and the police drug unit continued to cooperate closely, despite some news outlets and other informal channel of discussion speculating otherwise.
