They are essentially saying he's "mixed" in it and not specifying other than 'narcotics crime'. Moreover, he's notably not among the persons arrested.

He's probably but a suspected buyer/user, and the newslet that broke this out (MTV3) is using his name to market their TV report scheduled for tonight's episode of their investigative reporting show.

We as a nation are right off the news frenzy of a very popular schlager singer being in the buying end of a crystal meth scene, but from the reporting you'd think he was the biggest crook.
The people who were arrested were arrested in his house. Doesn't prove he's guilty of anything but a bit more here than a "suspected user".

They confiscated 2 kilos of cocaine. Yeah, just some dudes doing some lines.
That amount altogether from the whole ring, but there's three dozen of people suspected in the whole shebang and the investigation went on for months.

We don't know what role the persons apprehended at his cottage has in it all. Lehtera apparently wasn't there at that time himself.

"In short, per a report by Finnish media outlet MTV.fi, authorities staged a raid last summer on a house owned by Lehtera, arrested at least seven people and confiscated two kilograms of cocaine and approximately $700,000 in jewelry."

Could be wrong of course.

They got messed up translation from MTV3. The seven arrested, two k's and all that is the total overall from the case. On Lehtera property specifically, there has merely been "apprehensions".

You have made him into a Miami Vice villain!

The Inner Finland Police Department has in this week put the wide cocaine case to the Prosecutor's Office for the consideration of charges. The investigation phase has thusly concluded. 23 persons are suspect to prosecutor's consideration; no confirmation if Lehtera is one of them but the number of persons hasn't changed since the initial reporting.

Pirkanmaa District Court reportedly will look into it before the new year, but it may in all likeliness be that the first thing to do will be preparatory proceedings and the charges and the chargees won't become public knowledge until the main proceedings.

They still dont clear him. Wonder why.
What the police has now done is they have sent a crapload of paperwork from the preliminary investigation to the Prosecutor, who now will decide what if any charges he will put forward to the court. Essentially he will look into the legal side of matters and what of the suspected crimes he can hope to successfully back in the criminal court with the evidence that has been gathered.

So it's only now going into the phase where he may be cleared. No one has actually been charged yet apparently.

The prosecutor obviously may be well in the know of the contents of the case, judging from the tight schedule.
