In a recent development regarding the Vastaamo case, Aleksanteri Kivimäki has expressed deep disappointment following his conviction by the Court of Appeals, which has sentenced him to nearly seven years in prison. Kivimäki's lawyer, Peter Jaari, conveyed that his client is seeking permission to appeal the ruling in the Supreme Court, indicating that Kivimäki is pursuing all available legal avenues in light of this unfavorable outcome.

Kivimäki's current location is shrouded in mystery, as he refuses to disclose it to the media. His lawyer mentioned that Kivimäki is presently abroad, adding to the complexities surrounding the case. This lack of clarity raises concerns about Kivimäki's compliance with the court's sentencing, leading to speculation over the implications of his absconding as he faces incarceration following the appealed conviction.

With a prison term of 6 years and 11 months looming, Kivimäki's prospects become increasingly grim. His lawyer estimates that Kivimäki will be imprisoned for several months due to the nature of the ruling. As this story develops, the legal ramifications for Kivimäki could set a precedent in cases related to the significant fallout from the Vastaamo incident, which has caught considerable media and public attention in Finland and beyond.
