Finland: Appeal court increases Hakkarainen sentence

Aki Hakkarainen, the young Finnish man found guilty of five counts of criminal HIV transmission and 14 counts of HIV exposure in April 2008, and sentenced to ten years in prison in August 2008, will now have to serve a further two years in prison, following an appeal.

There's no explanation in the brief report in the Helsinki Times who launched the appeal but since the prosecutor had asked for a minimum of twelve years, it seems that it probably wasn't Hakkarainen himself.
