The long-term arrears were caused by the fact that the main contractor, Kreate, a part of TYL Sulkavuori, was experiencing financial difficulties. However, according to Kreate's HR director, Katja Pussinen, the company eventually paid the money through a Latvian company that had previously made payments.
