The Supreme Court ruled that imposing a fine on journalists Sulev Vedler and Tarmo Vahter, along with Delfi Meedia AS, was unwarranted in connection to their reporting on money laundering at Swedbank. The court concurred with the district court’s decision that the journalists’ publication of information related to a criminal case during the prosecutor’s preliminary investigation lacked the necessary authorization. The court determined that a fine was not justified in this specific instance.

Robert Kitt and Priit Perens were also involved in the case.
