The names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail, and social security codes of the suspects were posted on the internet by Finland's Financial Supervision Authority (RATA)."

Well, that's what they call "openness of process" in more civilized times. I believe the reasoning was roughly that when every financial institution across the nation gets the list, it's bound to leak. What's funny, really, is that the list was withdrawn based not on investigatory reasons but on privacy laws -- you cannot go spreading people's addresses and personal details over the Internet, now can you?
