About us

The Swedish Economic Crime Authority is a prosecuting authority where prosecutors, police officers, economic auditors and other experts work together in investigation teams. We lead and coordinate the fight against economic crime in Sweden.

We handle cases in:

• The county of Stockholm
• The county of Västra Götaland
• The county of Skåne
• The county of Halland
• The county of Blekinge
• The county of Gotland

As a coordinating authority, we monitor and analyse trends in economic crime and the fight against it from an all-embracing perspective. We also take the initiative to promote joint action between authorities and put forward proposals for changes in statutes designed to make the fight against economic crime easier and more effective.

Our role also includes providing the media, organisations, other authorities and the general public with information on economic crime.

We are responsible for ensuring cooperation between everyone working to combat economic crime in Sweden.

We develop and enhance the legal quality of criminal investigations. We also develop new methods for investigating serious economic crime, and strive to make economic crime prevention more effective.

The Swedish Economic Crime Authority focuses primarily on serious economic crime but also deals with less serious economic crime where prosecution is aimed at prevention. Particular emphasis is also placed on investigating crime on the financial markets and recovering the proceeds of crime.
