BUSINESSMAN Onni Sarmaste is suspected of rape and illegal threats that happened in May 2020.

The case has moved from the police to prosecution, but it is not yet known when the case will be heard in court. Ilta-Sanomat has not reached the prosecutor in the case.

Ilta-Sanomat caught up with Sarmaste, who tells his own version of what happened. According to him, it is a consensual interaction that has escalated into disagreements.

In Sarmaste's opinion, his public image contributed to the fact that a criminal complaint was filed against him.

- When someone is a public figure, it's easy to attack, says Sarmaste to Ilta-Sanom.

SARMASTE has previously been suspected of gross fraud in connection with the sale of protective masks agreed by Sarmaste's business partner and Huoltovarmuuskeskus (HVK).

Sarmaste didn't end much in wood in a masked jacket with the prosecution.

In July of this year, it became clear that HVK is demanding almost five million euros in return for the purchase price and over 180,000 euros in damages from Sarmastee in the Helsinki district court. According to the lawsuit, Sarmaste negligently caused damage to HVK in the failed hedging transactions of spring 2020.
