Recent reports have uncovered significant misuses involving customer points accrued from flights and hotel stays within the Finnish Defense Forces. It was discovered that military personnel and civilians had been accumulating points from official trips for personal gain, which is explicitly prohibited by the Defense Forces' travel regulations. This misuse not only violates internal policies but also raises concerns about ethical conduct among personnel.

In response to these allegations, the Defense Forces have initiated administrative legal proceedings against the involved staff members. Observations from legal oversight authorities have been forwarded to investigative agencies, indicating the gravity of the situation and the potential for further legal implications. The severity of the misappropriation is underscored by internal investigations prompted by documents obtained by Iltalehti, highlighting the need for accountability within the ranks.

Additionally, the General Staff Office and the Personnel Department of the Defense Forces have requested clarifications from 28 individuals regarding their use of customer point systems. Out of the investigated cases, two have resulted in written warnings, signaling the Defense Forces' commitment to addressing misconduct and reinforcing proper protocol in handling travel-related benefits.
