Finnish court tackles mysterious case of Russian fighter with double identity

Finnish legal system made a big-step forward in a complex case: prosecutors brought charges against a person who fought in east-ukraine conflict (which happened about a decade ago)

The suspect - Yan Petrovsky - lived quietly in Finland using a made-up name Voislav Torden; authorities filed five different charges related to his actions in russian-backed areas. The man who used a double-identity setup denied all wrong-doing

The case shows how European countries work with war-related crimes: finnish prosecution team carefully looked into events that took place in far-away conflict zones. Its important to note that the suspect was active in territories that were under non-government control back then
