In the autumn of 1975, five Finnish Social Democrats were stopped by Customs at Arlanda airport. Customs found SEK 244,800 in their luggage. The money was a "gift" from the German metalworkers' union to the Social Democratic Party of Finland, possibly a conduit for CIA money. The money was brokered by the Swedish Social Democratic Party treasurer Nils Gösta Damberg.
