A major crime scandal is shaking the Finnish trotting world, according to investigative reporting by *Iltalehti*. An extensive criminal network in Finland is suspected of financing its trotting operations, at least in part, with proceeds from criminal activity. Police documents reveal a disturbing connection between organized crime and the sport. Investigations suggest that victims of human trafficking, potentially at least two individuals, were forced to work at a horse stable. Authorities believe the uncovered human trafficking case represents only a fraction of the larger issue. The scale of the scandal has prompted calls for a thorough examination of practices within Finnish trotting.
