Økokrim in English

Sist oppdatert 17/08/2010

The National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime in Norway (ØKOKRIM) is a resource centre for the police and the prosecuting authorities in combating these types of crime. ØKOKRIM was established in 1989, and is both a police specialist agency and a public prosecutor's office with national authority. The formal rules for ØKOKRIM can be found in chapter 35 of the Prosecution Instructions. ØKOKRIM's main objective is to combat economic crime, environmental crime and laundering of proceeds of crime. ØKOKRIM has approximately 150 employees.
 

ØKOKRIM's tasks are

  • to uncover, investigate, prosecute and bring to trial its own cases
  • to assist the national and international police and prosecuting authorities
  • to boost the expertise of the police and the prosecuting authorities and to provide information
  • to engage in criminal intelligence work, dealing in particular with reports of suspicious transactions
  • to act as an advisory body to the central authorities
  • to participate in international cooperation
 
Deterrence is one of our main objectives. Through our work on specific criminal cases, we demonstrate to the public that anyone breaking the rules in our area of jurisdiction will be liable to penalties. Most of ØKOKRIM's resources are devoted to working on specific criminal cases.
