The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the prosecution against a defendant convicted of smuggling metoprolol from China via the internet. The court determined that under the relevant Finnish drug law and the EU Medicines Directive, the substance did not qualify as a 'drug' at the time of the offense. Consequently, the charge was invalid because the legal definition of a drug was not met.
