How Iceland jailed its bankers

The Inquiry

Available for over a year

During the global financial crisis of 2008, 97% of Iceland’s banking sector collapsed in a matter of days. Olafur Hauksson led the criminal investigation into bankers that was set up after the crash. His team brought 28 cases, with over 60 prosecutions. He says the banks fought him all the way. [Photo: Icelandic Flag. Credit: Getty Images]
