The Ossi Ketola Scandal in Helsinki

The Ossi Ketola Scandal in Helsinki
Just recently we reported on Ossi Ketola's return to the Triton, and now there's been a high-profile incident in Helsinki involving him. The flamboyant Finnish high roller showed up at a political rally dressed in a SpongeBob costume.

His appearance sparked a scuffle — Antifa activists attacked him, forcing his personal security to urgently evacuate Ketola from the square. A few minutes later, the police blocked the businessman's car and took him into custody.

PokerStars ambassador David Lappin added fuel to the fire, claiming that Ketola, still in his costume, was shouting racist slurs and giving Nazi salutes. As of now, the Finn has already been released from custody.
