Anneli Auer, previously acquitted of sexual and violent crimes, is seeking a substantial multi-million euro compensation from the Finnish state. This follows earlier compensation of over half a million euros she already received. Auer’s lawyer submitted a claim to the State Treasury on June 15th detailing the requested amount. The largest portion of the claim, €1,328,438, is for suffering endured during her nearly four years of imprisonment. The claim argues the state is liable for the hardship caused by her detention and subsequent exoneration. Further details of the claim have not been publicly released, but it represents a significant financial demand. The State Treasury will now review the request and determine the amount, if any, to be awarded.
