ABSTRACT
Most reports from private internal investigations are not available to the public because of secrecy. This is related to business secrets and other confidential information, data protection of sensitive information about identified individuals, and general wish to avoid public attention. This chapter presents the total sample of several internal investigations. It discusses the findings of each of the several investigation reports as they relate to the suspected white-collar criminal who ended up in prison. The chapter provides the three dimensions of convenience theory for each of the convicted white-collar offenders. It focuses on the private internal investigation reports from Norway by describing how key issues in private investigations were dealt with by financial crime specialists in the investigations. The four key issues are privatization of law enforcement, disclosure of investigation reports to the police, competence of private investigators and limits imposed by investigation mandates. Blomhoff was a trusted chief executive officer at the religious foundation Betanien which invested in Spain.
