'''Timo Pekka Olavi Siitoin''' ([[May 20]], [[1944]] – [[December 8]], [[2003]]) was an [[occultism|occultist]] and a [[Neo-Nazism|neo-nazi]] from [[Naantali]], [[Finland]].
In his youth he studied at the [[Theatre Academy of Finland]] and was a disciple of Finland's best known [[clairvoyant]], [[Aino Kassinen]]. In the 1970s he became a Neo-Nazi and founded several organizations. He saw himself as the leader of the Finnish Nazi movement but got at most a few dozen supporters. Siitoin also wrote books about [[politics]] and [[occultism]].
In 1977 Siitoin was convicted of inciting the arson of the printing house ''[[Kursiivi]]'' which printed the [[communism|communist]] newspaper ''[[Tiedonantaja]]'' and founding an organisation forbidden in the [[Paris Peace Treaties, 1947|1947 Paris Peace Treaty]]. He was sentenced to 5 years and 7 months in prison. Siitoin had earlier been fined, while convicted of cruelty to animals and vandalism against the [[synagogue]] in [[Turku]]. On [[November 4]] [[1977]]
the [[Finnish Ministry of the Interior]] closed down four of the organisations he had founded, as Neo-Fascist and forbidden by the 1947 Paris peace treaty.
A documentary film called ''[[Sieg Heil Suomi]]'' has been made about the Neo-Nazi activities lead by Siitoin and [[Väinö Kuisma]].
Siitoin died of cancer.
