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.

Britta's saga, from a respected public servant to a fugitive, encapsulates a shocking breach of trust and a profound examination of systemic vulnerabilities.
