New charges have been raised against Jari Aarnio, the detained former head of Helsinki drug police unit. The new charges include allegation of Aarnio's involvement in a prostitution ring.
 
The prosecutor revealed that the allegations are part of the pre-trial investigations launched in the autumn of 2013.
 
Aarnio has now been charged with aggravated embezzlement and three breach of office charges, some of which according to the prosecutor are related to the prostitution case.
 
Aarnio is also suspected of leaking police covert operations, and has now been charged with breach of official secrecy.
 
Before the filing of the new charges, a total of 19 charges were brought against Aarnio related to his alleged involvement with surveillance company Trevoc’s operations as well as the barrel ring suspicions which entails trafficking of hashish.
 
The Trevoc case is currently on-going at the District Court of Helsinki.
 
Legal proceedings concerning the alleged drug suspicions will begin in May.
 
Aarnio has been in detention since November 2013 and has denied all the allegations.
