Cereal offender? Police probe Finland PM's monthly breakfast bill

Finland Prime Minister Sanna Marin has been "reimbursed for some meals, even though the wording of the law on ministerial remuneration does not appear to permit this," police said.

Finland's police announced on Friday that they will investigate whether the prime minister's breakfasts have been illegally subsidised using taxpayers' money. Prime Minister Sanna Marin found herself in hot water on Tuesday when the tabloid Iltalehti reported that she has been claiming back about 300 euros ($365) per month for her family's breakfasts while living at her official residence, Kesaranta. While opposition figures accused the PM of being left with egg on her face, the 35-year-old head of government insisted that the perk was also given to her predecessors.
