Career
He is best known for supplying both East Germany and the Soviet Union with Finnish documents in 1973–1977, which he confessed. His Stasi code was XV/11/69. Like a number of his colleagues and politicians in Finland during the cold war, he was a contact of East-German diplomats in Helsinki.
Grimm received different types of information from Jukka Rusi, but not secret information during the years 1965-1976.
In 2000, The Finnish secret police (Supo) received the so-called Rosenholz cards, approximately 50 names in registers by Stasi. Among them XV/11/69 that was opened to Jukka Rusi on the 13th of January in 1969.
At the same time Supo received registers like XV/175/68 that were more important operations politically and in terms of sensitivity of the material, but Supo launched only an investigation related to XV/11/69. Supo, on purpose or mistakenly, connected Jukka Rusi’s younger brother Alpo Rusi to the investigation and leaked it through its informants to the press
Alpo Rusi had nothing to do with Stasi or Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (Committee for State Security) but as former advisor to the president, he was most probably a politically useful target for Supo.
The investigation was a major scandal but led to nothing. The avoidance of investigation on other registers vindicates the concept of finlandisation.
