Money laundering offences

The Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå) has conducted a study of how the Act on Penalties for Money Laundering Offences has been applied within the criminal justice system during the period 2015-2017. The report is primarily based on reports of criminal statistics and extracts from records, as well as on a review of almost 400 rulings (both convictions and acquittals) of district courts, all of which apply to the same period. We have also conducted interviews with 35 police officers, prosecutors, judges and other officials from within the criminal justice system.
