Embezzlement in the wartime aid committee
Karin Sauramo, secretary of the wartime committee operating under the League’s name, was convicted after embezzling more than 30 million Finnish marks. The committee had become functionally independent, but its incomplete legal separation led the public and press to associate the affair with MLL. Arvo Ylppö resigned from the League’s central leadership amid the controversy.
