Hi,
I just got a message that the Finnish Police have asked the fi.wikipedia, by sending an
email to the wikifi-admin(a)list.wikimedia.org, to give a written statement about their
possible violation of the laws that regulate fundraising in Finland. There is a little
news about this already online in English. Here:

I chat about this with a lawyer friend and he was afraid that the police msy go after the
volunteers that have participated in the fundraising, e.g. by translating the fundraising
messages.
Is there any equivalent cases from other countries?
In Finland one needs a pre-given permission to do fundraising.
