Team members from the epically-named Norwegian Economic Crime Unit will come to Iceland in June to assist their colleagues with the investigation into affairs surrounding the Icelandic banking system. Geir Kjetil Finneide, the unit’s senior officer, is remaining mum on exactly how many of his specialist team will be sent to Iceland to join the investigation.

Finneide said in an interview with the Norsk Telegrambyrå that is it not at all unusual for members of his team to travel to other countries to offer their assistance to their international colleagues. What would be special in this case, however, is the size of the investigation, and the sheer fact that such a large portion of the banking system is involved.
