Youth Foundation
Vanhanen served as Chairman of the Youth Foundation from 1998 to 2003 and Deputy Chairman from 1981 to 1997. The prosecution claims the Youth Foundation donated under the direction of Centre Party MP Antti Kaikkonen funding of over 90,000 euros for his own campaign and that of other Centre Party MPs including Matti Vanhanen. Prosecutors say this contravened the Foundation’s own rules and laws governing such institutions.
