I get that the police have to prioritise. But stopping money from reaching criminals must count for something.
If SEK 1.8bn isn’t enough, what would be? Or are the problems the police face simply that much bigger?
30 Swedish banks stopped SEK 1.8bn in suspected loan fraud in a year, working with the police.
Now the police are shutting it down: not enough impact on organised crime.
In Norway, police-bank sharing has stopped NOK 773m.
Why is Sweden going the other way?
In Norway, Oslo police have shared 920 identities and 353 companies with banks since January 2024. NOK 773m in suspected laundering loans stopped.
Storebrand Bank alone stopped NOK 330m by screening mortgage applications against that information.
