In a recent development regarding the investigation into MP Timo Vornanen's shooting incident, it has been announced by special prosecutor Tarmo Tanner that no preliminary investigation will be initiated concerning the missing video footage. According to Tanner, there are no indications of criminal wrongdoing in the police's handling of the case. This decision comes despite Vornanen's claims that the half-hour video recording of events at Bar Ihku is critical to his defense and was confirmed by police to be missing.

Timo Vornanen had previously reported in the autumn that the video material associated with the incident had disappeared. While Vornanen maintains that this evidence is essential to support his claims, the state prosecutor, Tapio Mäkinen, has stated that the absence of the footage does not impact the possibility of prosecution. Vornanen has sought an investigation into the matter with the National Bureau of Investigation, but officials have decided against proceeding with an inquiry.

Vornanen has a notable history regarding legal matters, having recently been sentenced to eight months of conditional imprisonment for assault, two cases of illegal threats, and violations related to the handling of firearms. The decision not to pursue an investigation into the missing video further complicates Vornanen's situation as he navigates the repercussions of his past legal issues and their impact on his political career.
