Ombudsman rebukes Finnish Immigration Service over illegal asylum delays
The Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) has received four formal warnings for breaching statutory time limits in asylum application processing.
The reprimands followed complaints about the handling of applications submitted by Russian nationals in 2024 and early 2025.
According to a review by the Deputy Parliamentary Ombudsman Mikko Sarja, several cases exceeded the maximum legal processing time of 21 months.
