Finland's police announced on Friday that they will investigate whether the prime minister's breakfasts have been illegally subsidised using taxpayers' money. Prime Minister Sanna Marin found herself in hot water on Tuesday when a tabloid reported that she has been claiming back about 300 euros per month for her family's breakfasts while living at her official residence. The 35-year-old head of government insisted that the perk was also given to her predecessors. She wrote on Twitter that as a prime minister she has not asked for this benefit nor been involved in deciding on it.Legal experts believe that using taxpayers' money to pay for the prime minister's morning meal may in fact be against Finnish legislation.
