Criminal assets recovery in Sweden

Since the goals for confiscating the proceeds of crime deviate sharply from the traditional Swedish methods for crime control, to adopt such a strategy requires new methods and information resources along with well-developed and fully functioning collaboration between the authorities.

In short, it is a big challenge for crime control and there is a long line of obstacles that need to be identified and overcome. What could be needed is an overview of this very complex area in order to find weak points as well as any untapped potential.

The goal of this report is to try to provide such an overview. The purpose of the study is to map out the authorities’ work of tracking and recovering money and other property that is undeclared or from regular criminal activities. The idea is to identify obstacles and possibilities within this strategic objective for crime control.
