Justice prevailed! Küllike Namm was finally acquitted in the Käsmu harbour case
The years-long criminal case against Küllike Namm ended in an acquittal. The Supreme Court overturned the Court of Appeal’s conviction and upheld the county court’s decision, by which Küllike Namm was acquitted of the charge of breaching conflict-of-interest restrictions. Küllike was represented by NAMM attorneys Simone Eelmaa and Sander Potisepp, as well as Sorainen attorney Norman Aas.
The charge concerned a legal dispute related to the detailed planning procedure for Käsmu harbour. In cases like this, the very fact that charges have been brought may create a misleading public impression that a person must have done something wrong. The court’s final conclusion was clear: Küllike Namm did not commit a criminal offence.
For us, this is a very important and personal outcome. Küllike is the founder of NAMM, and seeing her name and work linked to a criminal charge was difficult both for her and for the firm. The acquittal does not erase all the hardship caused by the proceedings. It does not give back the years, the stress or the questions raised in public. But it gives the most important answer: the allegations were not justified and Küllike Namm did not commit a criminal offence.
We sincerely and wholeheartedly thank everyone who supported us in one way or another on this journey!
