In October 2023, the Police and Border Guard Board of Estonia filed a suspicion against the NGO "Infograafika ja Ergonoomika Instituut,"[5] which operates the online platform "Toeta.me," and its sole board member Henri Laupmaa, over the alleged misappropriation of funds. The alleged embezzlement concerns €225,000 raised via the toeta.me donation site, whose bank account's sole administrator was Laupmaa. The funds were earmarked for anti-jamming tech to be installed on drones being sent to Ukraine. An agreement signed between the leaders of the donation campaign required Laupmaa to transfer all the missing €225,000 campaign money by October 23. By December Laupmaa had transferred around €139,000.[6]
