Finnish PM Sanna Marin cleared of misconduct over party video as there was 'no reason to suspect the prime minister of illegal conduct in the minister's official position or neglect of duty'
The Finnish prime minister has been cleared of misconduct after a video of her partying with friends emerged in the summer.Bringing the misconduct investigation to a close on Friday, Tuomas Poysti, the justice chancellor, said there was"no reason to suspect the prime minister of illegal conduct in the minister's official position or neglect of duty".
The footage, which was shared widely on social media, drew both praise and criticism, with supporters commending the young leader for combining a private life with a high-profile career and detractors saying she should be focused on issues such as the war in Ukraine. After the leak, Ms Marin said she was"disappointed" the footage had become public, but defended herself, saying:"I spent the evening with friends. Partied, pretty wild, yes. Danced and sang.", which came back negative, to allay concerns over claims that someone could be heard shouting a euphemism for cocaine in the background.
Critics had alleged that Ms Marin's consumption of alcohol at the party meant she was"unfit to work" and her"inappropriate" behaviour"undermined Finland's reputation and security".
