The former real estate queen was convicted in the district court of Kanta-Häme for gross dishonesty of the debtor.
Kaisa Liski, who became known as a real estate agent, has been sentenced by the district court of Kanta-Häme to a suspended prison sentence of one year and 2 months for gross dishonesty of the debtor.
There is no verdict yet available on the matter with reasons, but the punishment Liski received is evident from the public verdict.
It also shows that Liski was ordered to pay more than 263,000 euros to his creditors.
Liski was also banned from doing business for three years. The business ban entered into force already on June 23, 2022 and it ends in 2025. In practice, the business ban prohibits Liski from operating as an entrepreneur during that time.
The probationary period of the suspended prison sentence ends on June 23, 2024. The processing of the case began in Hämeenlinna on June 23.
Liski was the first to report on the verdict Evening News.

Transferred funds to himself
According to the motion for judgment, Liski has been the only actual member of the board of Tavastia LKV Oy, the CEO and the actual controlling authority of the company.
According to the prosecutor, in this position of responsibility, Liski has, without an acceptable reason, handed over the company’s assets totaling 263,601 euros outside its circle of assets and beyond the reach of creditors.

According to the motion for judgment, Liski has handed over funds to himself knowing about his company’s financial difficulties.
Consequently, Liski has known that the use and withdrawal of funds in the manner described above will essentially cause and worsen the company’s insolvency.
The company was declared bankrupt on 29 October 2019.
The prosecutor considers that a considerable financial benefit has been obtained by the act, and the debtor’s dishonesty must be considered gross when assessed as a whole.
The matter was already discussed before the trial in the plea negotiation, where Liski acknowledged the prosecutor’s description of the crime. For this reason, the case was handled as a confession trial, which is a lighter procedure than a normal district trial, where the prosecutor does not have to present as much evidence as in a normal trial, because most of the evidence is based on the accused’s confession.
One of the stakeholders in the case was Alma Mediapartners, which is part of Alma Media.
