Concerns have arisen within the Finnish Defense Forces regarding the misuse of employee bonus cards, as reported by Uutissuomalainen. This misconduct has resulted in various disciplinary actions, including reprimands and written warnings for the involved personnel. The Defense Forces confirmed that there have been cases where criminal proceedings have been initiated due to the specific misuse of these cards. However, the organization has not provided detailed information regarding the nature of these incidents.

The majority of reported misuse cases have not escalated to more severe repercussions beyond the initial warnings. Personnel involved were cautioned to exercise greater care in their future use of the bonus cards. While investigations are ongoing, some inquiries have been made concerning individuals who have accumulated loyalty points, indicating that not all instances under scrutiny relate directly to misuse of the bonus cards. The Defense Forces have clarified that usage of personal loyalty cards is not permitted during official travel according to their regulations.

The Defense Forces have not disclosed the total number of investigations or sanctions resulting from these concerns. The findings and actions taken aim to ensure adherence to proper conduct while maintaining the integrity of the benefits associated with the bonus cards, reflecting a broader initiative to uphold ethical standards within the military ranks. Contacts from personnel continue to be sought as investigations remain active, with some reports still pending outcomes.
