Tommi Nikunen, the former head coach of Finland's ski jumping national team, is currently under investigation for two counts of serious embezzlement related to the financial management of Lahden Golf Oy and Lahden Golf ry. According to MTV Sports, the financial irregularities have resulted in damages amounting to tens of thousands of euros, though they are reported to be less than one hundred thousand euros. Investigating officer Teppo Kallio stated to MTV that the preliminary investigation is ongoing, and there is currently one suspect in the case.

The allegations suggest that access to communal funds has been misused, specifically indicating that these funds were not used for their intended purposes of community benefit. Nikunen has not confirmed or denied the allegations, stating that he cannot comment on matters in which he has not yet been questioned. This situation has drawn significant attention due to Nikunen's prominent presence in Finnish sports media, particularly in winter sports broadcasts, where he has provided commentary on ski jumping and combined events.

Nikunen, who served as the head coach of the Finnish ski jumping team from 2002 to 2008, is currently working as the executive director at Tammer-Golf in Tampere. The outcome of this investigation could have serious implications for both Nikunen's career and the reputations of the organizations involved, highlighting issues of financial oversight within sports management in Finland.
