History
History
Ekobrottsmyndigheten, EBM or SECA, was set up in 1998, to safeguard the expertise of experienced police officers and prosecutors, who often got assigned to other types of investigations not related to economic crime. The authority was the first in Sweden to co-house police officers and prosecutors under the same roof.
