ABSTRACT
Organised crime in Sweden consists of gangs, groups and networks. The number of stable, organised crime groups seems to be low (Brå, 2005; Korsell, Skinnari ampentity Vesterhav, 2009). The networks are the most important actors on this scene. Besides traditional crimes, organised crime members also commit economic crimes – and sometimes with the help of experts as they lack knowledge of the financial systems (Brå, 2014b; Malm ampentity Bichler, 2013). As a possible consequence of this, notorious white-collar criminals are said to be teaming up with organised crime in joint criminal projects (NBI, 2012). Companies are used by organised crime as a crime tool. Interest in using companies in crime is also increasing, according to law enforcement and regulatory agencies (Brå, forthcoming; NBI, 2012; NUC, 2015).
