If you have reported a crime or the police have otherwise become aware of the crime and you have made a statement to the police, you can claim compensation. In this case, you must submit the statement you made to the police to the State Treasury.
If you have not made a statement but wish to claim compensation, you can, if you wish, follow the instructions given by the prosecutor in the letter. If you pursue the case as instructed in the prosecutor’s letter, you will be able to claim compensation from the State Treasury. If you wish, you can also contact Victim Support Finland.
