A Finnish group of buyers aiming to buy the Helsinki arena has prevented the hall company from drifting into insolvency and bankruptcy, says Helsingin Sanomat. Companies of Finns who shunned publicity have paid fees related to the Helsinki arena to the city.

According to the newspaper, Jukurie’s former main owner, investor Heikki Viitikko has the largest financial contribution in the buyer group. HS appoints the founder of the real estate investment company Trevian as the leader of the buyer group Reima Södervallin.

The voting majority of Helsinki Halli Oy, which manages the Helsinki arena, is owned by the Arena Events company, which is controlled by Russian oligarchs Gennady Timchenko, Arcade and Boris Rotenberg and the latter’s son Roman Rotenberg. With the exception of Roman Rotenberg, they are subject to EU sanctions against Russia.
