Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding statute of limitations in insider trading case where prosecution was time-barred.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the appeal against the lower court's decision to dismiss the prosecution due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. The prosecution alleged insider trading based on confidential information, but the defense argued the investigation had not commenced within the legally prescribed time frame. The court held that the prosecution was time-barred because the necessary procedural steps were not initiated within the statutory period, rendering the case inadmissible.
