Jarmo Viinanen

Between 8 April 2009 and 2014, Viinanen held a position as the Permanent Representative of Finland to the United Nations.

The tabloid Iltalehti broke the story on Wednesday 13 July 2016, reporting that at least one woman who worked for Viinanen in Sweden had left her job earlier that year.

Foreign Minister Timo Soini stated that his ministry was investigating the incident and commented that Wednesday in Pori that he hoped to have the matter resolved by the time he met with the Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallström in about one month from then.
