The neo-Nazi organisation
Pohjoinen perinne (or Nordic Tradition in English), a registered association of the Nordic Resistance Movement (Finnish acronym PVL), has been declared bankrupt by Pirkanmaa District Court on Monday.
A request for bankruptcy was filed by lawyer
Kaarle Gummerus, who was appointed as the association s liquidator in mid-December.
Finland’s Supreme Court upheld on appeal a decision to ban the neo-Nazi Nordic Resistance Movement in September.
According to the Supreme Court, the association operated in violation of the law and accepted principles of morality. In its ruling, the court supported the 2018 view of the Turku Appeals Court that the association should be shut down for the general good of society, because of its violent acts and militia-like structure.
