Security police force SUPO claimed foreigners were purchasing sites in Finland to house Russian troops, according to Finnish tabloid Iltalehti.
A SUPO report submitted to a parliamentary committee reportedly warned: “These measures may be caused by preparations to influence a forthcoming crisis situation.
“They could be land transactions, which do not appear to be business or related to the normal real estate value.”
The agency added that the land purchases could be used by a “foreign state in a crisis situation to take advantage of, for example, the closure of transport routes or unmarked accommodation of troops”.
SUPO said new purchases of plots inside Finland were being “constantly detected” and could be used as temporary accommodation for soldiers ahead of an offensive.
Finland is thought to host one of the highest levels of foreign agents in the Western world.
