An appeals court has ordered Hassan Zubier to pay the state 27,000 euros of crowdfunding proceeds after the 2017 Turku attack in which his spinal cord was severed.

A lower court previously fined Zubier around 13,000 euros, or roughly half of the 27,000 euros in damages sought by the prosecution. The appeals court, however, found that it was not unreasonable for Zubier to lose all of the proceeds from the fundraising crime.

Permits issued by the police are required in order to legally fundraise in Finland, and Zubier's campaign did not have one.

Zubier, 50, is a UK national who lives in Sweden and was on a visit to Finland when the attack took place. He was severely injured by the attacker when he attempted to save the life of a stabbing victim at Turku Market Square.

The woman who had set up the fundraising campaign for Zubier was handed a 25 day-fine sentence, amounting to a total of 800 euros.

The district court found that Zubier was instrumental in launching the fundraising campaign, as the woman said she had initially told him that arranging a fundraising campaign would be too complicated after talking to the police. The court found that the woman would have given up on the plan if Zubier hadn't suggested that she launch a fundraiser for him on GoFundMe.

Fallen hero
The Turku stabbing case was deemed Finland's first official terrorist crime, in which a 23-year-old Moroccan man was found guilty of killing two women and injuring eight other people.

In 2020, Zubier received a 22-month suspended sentence for aggravated fraud, aggravated forgery and illegal fundraising crimes.

Following the attack, the media and public initially showered Zubier with praise. President Sauli Niinistö and Queen Elizabeth bestowed him with awards.

But he fell from grace in Finland after news emerged that he had embellished details about his life, including forging documents he submitted in a benefits application to the Finnish state.
