Økokrim mottok hackermateriale - kunne ikke bruke det
I Sverige bidro opplysningene fra en hacker til etterforskning og domfellelser.
Last year, a hacker infiltrated computer systems of multiple individuals involved in a criminal network operating across Norway-Sweden borders. The hacker stole among other things, their chats. This activity continued over a period of time and the hacker shared the material with Swedish police. However, Økokrim, a Norwegian anti-fraud organization, stated they could not use this material. Økokrim's head, Pål Lønseth, said they cannot comment on this specific case, stating that they only share or receive information of good quality and within legal parameters.
Professor Anders Løvlie from UiO mentioned that while generally, a prosecutor has a duty to prosecute criminal offenses and ensure that cases are thoroughly investigated, the information obtained must be legally obtained. He also pointed out that while unlawful evidence can often be used in court, it can be challenging to assess the value of unobtained evidence without knowing how it was obtained or whether it is complete.
