The purpose of the study is to assess whether the Ministry of Justice supported the investigation of online sexual crime and cyber fraud to a satisfactory degree in the years 2019 - 2022. The report answers the following questions:
- Have Rigspolitiet, through the NC3, adequately supported the police in their investigation of online sexual crime?
- Have Rigspolitiet, through the NCIK, adequately supported the police in their investigation of cyber fraud?
Rigsrevisionen assesses that the Ministry of Justice has not adequately supported the investigation of online sexual crime and cyber fraud in the years 2019 - 2022. Neither the NC3 nor the NCIK assisted the police districts with their initial investigations as intended, and too much time lapsed before cyber fraud cases were sent on to the police districts for further investigation. As a result, the police risk losing opportunities of investigation, particularly in cyber fraud cases.
Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in May 2022.
