The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is investigating a suspected case of money laundering involving a large sum of cash seized at a border crossing point, reported a Finnish language tabloid, Iltalehti.
The trail of the suspected money laundering came to light when the police seized 3.6 million euros in cash from a Russian man at a Finnish border crossing point.
The confiscation was made on two separate occasions at Nuijamaa and Vaalimaa border crossing points in April 2012.
The Russian man had not attempted to hide the money in any way.
The case had already been prosecuted at the District Court of Kymenlaakso and Eastern Finland Court of Appeal.
The Russian man and a New Zealand-registered company which claims to own the money have demanded the return of the confiscated cash.
The Court of Appeal on Tuesday issued a verdict which upheld the earlier decision by the District Court.
According to the District Court, there are sufficient grounds to justify continuation of the confiscation since there is a reason to suspect that the case is related to money laundering.
