Norway’s Økokrim (National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime) reports a rise in criminal network involvement in economic crime within Norwegian industries. Their threat assessment for 2026 predicts further infiltration of both public and private sector businesses. Økokrim chief Pål Lønseth states that more industries are expected to be targeted in the coming years. The true extent of economic crime in Norway remains unclear due to underreporting and uninvestigated offenses. Authorities in Sweden estimate their criminal economy at 352 billion kroner, highlighting the potential scale of the issue. Økokrim’s warning underscores the growing need for vigilance and preventative measures against these criminal activities.
