Theft from online bank accounts and debit card fraud is rapidly rising, but investigators say the vast majority of criminals are based abroad and rarely caught. “It’s very, very difficult to clear up,” said Johnny Lundberg, of the national police’s computer crime unit, NITES. “I can’t recall a case we’ve solved, but we’ve sent information to other countries for their investigations.” While the foreign masterminds go unpunished, a number of their Danish helpers, so-called mules, have been convicted of fencing.
