A computer containing thousands of people's private medical data was found in a ditch on a Turku motorway, according to the daily Turun Sanomat. The patients listed include politicians, businessmen and top athletes.

The computer belongs to a private chiropractor, and the patient records and data were not password protected.

The staff at the private clinic were surprised by the news that the computer was missing.
Clinic staff said they think the computer was likely stolen when the clinic moved 18 months ago.

Police are investigating the incident.
