Business Finland has file a criminal complaint with Shanghai police over suspected financial crimes that took place seven years ago.
The organisation suspects an employee of its Chinese subsidiary, FinChi, of financial crimes. The criminal complaint was confirmed to Yle by Marianne Asikainen, the organisation's Senior Director of Legal, Administration, Facilities and Compliance.
Business Finland has previously said the losses amount to around one million euros, and were incurred in 2017-18. Asikainen did not offer the suspect's nationality.
Business Finland first uncovered the suspected malfeasance in May.
Business Finland is also working with U.S. authorities to investigate a former employee suspected of embezzling four million euros of Finnish taxpayers' money for personal luxuries.
