  • Summary

  • During the summer of 2018, a sharp-eyed employee at Denmark's National Board of Health and Welfare spotted unusual financial activity. This discovery revealed that Britta Nielsen, a long-time trusted worker, had been stealing money meant for Denmark's neediest people. For over twenty years, Britta had been tweaking account numbers to funnel almost €15 million into her own pockets, supporting a lifestyle way out of her usual reach. Britta's saga, from a respected public servant to a fugitive, encapsulates a shocking breach of trust and a profound examination of systemic vulnerabilities.
