The agency has been working aggressively to wrap up old cases that are still active. As a result, throughput times will increase in the short term and then decrease again. 66
Graph 34 compares throughput times reported by the police and RÅ for economic crime. Throughput times for the police and other prosecuting authorities are at the same level as for EBM. Graph 35 shows completed cases by year reported. Most of them were reported in 2002 or 2003. The data is presented on the basis of suspected crime, not number of cases. The average EBM case consists of one coded suspicion, whereas the average case of the other prosecuting authorities consists of five – for a cumulative average of two. EBM prosecuted 24% of its cases in 2002 and 24.5% in 2003, whereas the other authorities prosecuted 36.5% of their economic crime cases in 2002 and 30.8% in 2003. 6.4 POLICE INVESTIGATIONS IN THE REST OF THE COUNTRY The number of active cases older than one year has been about the same as those turned over to prosecutors. The percentage of cases received that are still active has been on the rise, particularly since 1998. One reason is that SKV has taken over economic crime cases from the police. Most of them are relatively straightforward and do not require a great deal of time to investigate. Thus, the cases for which the police are still responsible have become more complicated. For the first time since 1998, the number of cases received and those turned over to prosecutors is increasing. Percentage wise, those turned over to prosecutors have risen somewhat faster than those received. Thus, even though the number turned over to prosecutors has grown somewhat, it has remained relatively stable since 1998. But there are major variations from one police authority to the other. The low ratio of economic crime reports to total cases received is partly due to the fact that six police authorities, including the three largest, are no longer involved in combating such offences. For the police authorities that still fight economic crime, the percentage ranges from 0.1% in Västerbotten County to 0.4% in Östergötland, Jämtland and Norrbotten counties. The proportion of investigation hours devoted to economic crime varies from 2.4% in Västerbotten County to 7.5% in Norrbotten County. Economic crime and the category of other offences are the two areas in which resources available for investigation have markedly decreased. 67
