Auditor general
Tytti Yli-Viikari has appealed her much-publicised suspension from duty. She has escalated the matter to the administrative court, where she is demanding that her suspension be overturned, according to local news conglomerate Uutissuomalainen.
Yli-Viikari is demanding that the court lifts her suspension and obliges Parliament to cover her suspension-time salary as well as legal fees.
In April, Parliament s Chancellery Commission unanimously decided to suspend Yli-Viikari from her role as auditor general of the National Audit Office of Finland (VTV) pending the outcome of a criminal investigation.
In her appeal, Yli-Viikari claims the suspension was unrelated to the ongoing police investigation and that the decision to temporarily remove her from duty was linked to public pressure.
