Seven Arrested in 200 Million Kroner Money Laundering Case

On Tuesday, the National Unit for Special Crime (NSK) apprehended seven individuals suspected in a money laundering scheme involving at least 200 million kroner. According to an NSK press release, the suspects are believed to have played various roles in a system where companies acted as invoice mills, existing only on paper and issuing invoices for non-existent services. Police Commissioner Kirstine Mathiesen stated that the arrests were the result of extensive investigations, during which multiple locations were searched with assistance from several police districts. The police also think property renovation using undeclared money was a laundering method. The suspects range from 35 to 64 years old and include four men and three women. The specific charges and the suspects’ roles in the case have not been disclosed.
