In Mikkeli, a housing company has threatened former member of parliament Ano Turtianen and his spouse with the seizure of their apartment over outstanding property fees amounting to around €2,500. The housing company has published an official notice stating that if the debts are not paid within a week, the board will convene an extraordinary meeting to decide on seizing the apartment for a period of three years. This situation reflects ongoing financial issues faced by Turtianen, who has previously struggled with various debts.

This apartment in question is a 39 square meter studio located near the center of Mikkeli, an area likely to have significant local interest. The housing company's management confirmed to Yle that a review of Turtianen's debt situation will take place at the beginning of the week following the expiration of the payment deadline. Turtianen's situation has attracted media attention before, signaling deeper financial troubles which may impact his public and private life.

Additionally, it was reported earlier this year that Turtianen has faced other financial obligations and debts connected to his business activities. This includes earlier reports of enforced collection due to business-related debts, suggesting that this latest incident may not be isolated but rather part of a larger pattern of financial difficulties involving Turtianen. The implications of these ongoing issues may hinder his reputation and future engagements in the public sphere, particularly considering his past as a public figure in Finland.
