Finnish police have launched a criminal investigation into potential environmental law violations during Google’s data center construction preparations. The project is part of a $15 billion investment in AI infrastructure. Authorities allege that Tuike Finland, a Google subsidiary, conducted deforestation and drainage work before completing required environmental impact assessments. The investigation will examine issues related to drainage and water management at the site. Google has stated it began preparatory work based on its interpretation of authorization requirements. Finland's favorable climate and low-carbon energy have made it an attractive location for data center investments.
