Joly says to the Icelandic newspaper Morgunbladid that it is important to find out where the money went, and that more effort must be put into investigating such crime.

Eva Joly has most recently been adviser to the Norwegian Development Aid Agency (NORAD) and before that she was adviser to the Norwegian Ministry of Justice. Eva Joly first become famous in France and internationally for her ceaseless fight against corruption in France, most noteably her work with the investigations of the Elf oil company case and the bank Credit Lyonnaise.
