Vehkoo received permission to appeal to the Supreme Court, which rejected the charge with a preliminary decision issued on January 11, 2022.

[11][12] On April 12, 2019, the Oulu Prosecutor's Office announced two charges against Junes Lokka for incitement against an ethnic group.

[15][16] Earlier in April 2019, Lokka was charged with four counts of defamation and spreading information that violates private life.

[19] In 2022, the Oulu District Court found Junes Lokka guilty of three counts of defamation and one of spreading information that violates private life.

According to the district court, a fair verdict would have been a fine, but the trial had been delayed by a year, so as compensation, Lokka was not punished.

Parkkonen was deemed to have insulted Lokka's honor in a tweet he sent in April 2019, in which he commented on the case concerning Johanna Vehkoo.
