In all other cases, bringing nuclear devices into Finland will remain strictly prohibited.

- Description
- With 20,000 people waiting to get Wolt accounts, a shadow market of couriers renting out their accounts has popped up in Finland.
Couriers rent the accounts from former deliverers who have since moved on to other work. Yle spoke to 18 couriers who said that renting an account can cost anywhere from 450 to 900 euros a month.
These deals are often arranged openly in Facebook groups for couriers. When an account is offered, dozens of people respond within minutes.
