芬兰奥卢警察局应监管机构要求,对谷歌子公司 Tuike Finland 在穆霍斯(Muhos)规划的数据中心工地展开初步刑事调查 2。当局指控该公司在未完成芬兰法律要求的环境影响评估之前,便清理并排干了330公顷的森林,涉嫌违反环境法律 12。此次行动源于当地监管机构此前已因评估程序不完整勒令该工地停工,并要求公司在11月5日前提交详细的水管理计划,同时于10月14日确认暂停相关准备工作 2。
调查显示,Tuike Finland 在水管理和排水方面的违规行为导致约25万棵树被毁 12。值得注意的是,谷歌计划在芬兰进行高达130亿欧元的投资,而监管机构不仅叫停了穆霍斯的项目,还同步中止了卡亚尼-奥坦马基(Kajaani-Otanmäki)的另一处数据中心项目 2。鉴于案件复杂性,这项初步刑事调查预计耗时较长,力争在2027年内完成 2。
Finnish police have launched a preliminary criminal investigation into suspected environmental damage at the site of a planned data centre in Muhos, rural northern Finland. 12 The probe targets Tuike Finland, a subsidiary of Google, following allegations that the company cleared and drained approximately 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest before completing the environmental impact assessment required by Finnish law. 1 This action is reported to have resulted in the destruction of around 250,000 trees. 12
The Oulu Police Department initiated the inquiry at the request of the Finnish Supervisory Agency, which had previously ordered work on the site to stop due to incomplete environmental assessments. 2 Authorities confirmed the suspension of preparatory work on October 14 and mandated that the company submit a detailed water management plan by November 5. 2 The ongoing project represents part of Google’s broader investment strategy in the region, with total investments in Finland amounting to €13 billion. 2
In addition to the Muhos site, regulators have also halted another data centre project in Kajaani-Otanmäki as part of their enforcement actions. 2 Officials anticipate that the initial investigation will be lengthy, aiming for completion within 2027. 2
