Two reports of investigations by lawyers at Kammeradvokaten became publicly available in 2020, and thus the reports are relevant for the review of the role of the lawyer of corporate investigator given here. First, the report on the Banedanmark railroad is reviewed extensively (Kammeradvokaten, 2020a), followed by a shorter review of the report on Ejendomsstyrelse property management agency (Kammeradvokaten, 2020b).

1. THE BANEDANMARK RAILROAD INVESTIGATION

In the summer of 2018, Banedanmark noticed an article in the Danish newspaper Berlingske that stated there were rumors of financial crime having been committed by some employees in the public railroad maintenance organization for several years. Banedanmark is a stateowned company that is responsible for operating and maintaining the entire Danish railway network. The company outsources several service functions to outside vendors. The newspaper article was based on journalists having received a number of anonymous tip-offs related to 23 named employees who were still or had previously been employed by Banedanmark. The tip-offs suggested that employees were guilty of misconduct and illegal activities such as bribery and abuse of power when cooperating with subcontractors over several years (Jessen and Jung, 2020; Jung and Jessen, 2020).
