Bertil Wedin: ”I am not the murderer”

Av Ola Billger
25 feb, 2014

Stieg Larsson gave the police a tip about him [ie Bertil Wedin] and South African agents named [ie Bertil Wedin] after the murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme. Still the Swedish investigators have not been able to arrange a formal interview with him in 27 years.

The alleged go-between Bertil Wedin is today talking to SvD about the accusations.

“After the murder I thought: will I be a suspect?”

Constantly under investigation, several times pointed out. But never properly interviewed by the Police.

The elegant and nowadays 73 years old Bertil Wedin came to the surface in the Palme inquiry almost immediately after the murder on February 28th interest because of his connections with Security Service of the South African Apartheid regime.

Today SvD could reveal that the world-famous crime writer and journalist Stieg Larsson named Bertil Wedin in the autumn of 1987 as a possible go-between in the murder of Palme.

Stieg Larsson had come across extensive documentation on Bertil Wedin which he compiled and sent to the Police in a memorandum. His partner Eva Gabrielsson says to SvD that all the time up to his death in 2004 Stieg Larsson had suspicions about Bertil Wedin.

Other persons have also pointed at Wedin as a go-between, as the one planting the false trail about Kurdish PKK and for spreading negative propaganda about Palme for a long time after the murder. Since November 1985 he lives in north Cyprus, a nation recognised by nobody and who lacks extradition treaties with everyone.

“Well, I disliked Olof Palme quite a lot, but I did not hate him”, he says.

SvD is meeting with Bertil Wedin close to his home in Kyrenia. We are sitting in the elegant but slightly worn-down Dome Hotel, the same place where Wedin was interviewed by the world press in 1996 when he and the super spy Craig Williamson were alleged to be involved in the murder of Palme. The waiter is wearing a black tie, worn to a shine, and is chatting in a familiar tone with the guests.

A mild breeze is sweeping in from the Mediterranean. Bertil Wedin’s eyes are ice-blue , cold and vigilant.

“I have nothing to lose from the truth coming out since i am luckily enough not the murderer and had nothing to do with it all.”

In spite of the fact that he has appeared in inquiries for 28 years, no formal interview has ever been conducted by Swedish Police. A telephone call is the closest the investigators have been.

“A policeman called in 1996 after I had appeared in the press in connection with South Africa. He was a bit loud and easy-going and talked about a permit. I said ‘you don’t need a permit, just come.’ But they never came.”

SvD is talking to him for three days going through Stieg Larsson’s memo page by page. In the document it is stated that Bertil Wedin had been a mercenary, had worked for BOSS, the South African Security Service since the 70’s and for was one of the “top pro killers” in Europe.

“All these pieces of information are false…except then one about me living with my wife in Cyprus. OK?”

One of the sources says that Wedin is “one of the nastiest persons” he has met in his many years working against right wing extremism. That he was supposed to have murdered several people, among them the anti-Apartheid activist Ruth First, one of Olof Palme’s friends, who was killed by a bomb.

“I have heard about the letter bomb, of course, but it was completely unknown to me. And I think it is a terrible thing.”

Wedin goes on reading, sniffing at the content and commenting some statements.

I am aware of my reputation; right wing man and Conservative, not liking Palme and more, but I have done nothing of all this.

“They say ‘no smoke without fire’ but there is nothing in this. I am aware of my reputation; right wing man and Conservative, not liking Palme and more, but I have done nothing of all this. Not a single thing. And no one has asked me to do anything either.”

Stieg Larsson was not alone in his suspicions: there were several tips directly after the murder and ten years later South African security agents pointed a finger at Wedin as involved in the murder.

Bertil Wedin left Sweden in 1975 and moved to Great Britain. He worked among other things as a journalist but was also paid by the South African Security Service. He was charged, accused of breaking into the office of an anti-Apartheid movement in London, but was later acquitted.

Three months ahead of the murder of Olof Palme he moved with his family to northern Cyprus.

“I wanted to lead another life. Many people I know in this sphere have sooner or later grown tired of it, wanted to do something else.”

He says that he tried several times to give Swedish authorities a tip on who was behind the murder. He contacted embassies and the Palme inquiry, but nobody wanted to receive his information.

“I had names that I believed were the [gunmen] or the name of the Master Mind”, Bertil Wedin says.

However he does not want to disclose those names today.

In the memo from Stieg Larsson it is stated that Bertil Wedin went to South Africa in February 1986, shortly before the murder of Olof Palme.

Were you in South Africa at the time?

“I was not.”

He says he was in Cyprus when he heard the news from the BBC World Service on March 1st.

“Later I thought: will I be a suspect?”

The reason was that he was “a little anti-Palme”.

Today, 28 years on, he is no longer particularly interested in talking to the Police, neither to offer tips, nor to straighten out question marks.

“I would prefer not to. But I would consider it, of course, but it seems so meaningless.

COMMENT
Came across this Swedish Sapo agent, South African apartheid government spy fellow, Bertil Wedin, when I ran into an article about about star South African spy recruit / alleged NCA defector Olivia Forsyth (mentioned below).

So, if I have this straight, there's a Swedish fellow (Bertil Wedin), that's been linked to a notorious South African spymaster (Craig Williamson), whose South African government spy outfit was involved in violent acts of terrorism; and this Swedish guy's been fingered by a renown Swedish crime writer and journalist (Stieg Larsson), as allegedly having been involved in the assassination of Olof Palme (Swedish Prime Minister); and this Bertil Wedin guy has also been implicated as party to the crime of assassination by members of the South African government spying outfit.

Yet Wedin, alleged mercenary, South African spy and alleged party to the assassination of a Swedish national icon, has never been formally interviewed by Swedish police. Odd, one would think, particularly given Sweden's zeal in conducting the international legal assault on WikiLeaks' publisher, Julian Assange, the subject of Swedish police allegations of 'sexual misconduct'.

Since 1985, Wedin has retreated to the delights of Greek island life (where nobody has an extradition treaty with the unrecognised, North Cyprus, self-declared state).

All that lovely Greek island sunshine would at least be a rather therapeutic consolation, when enduring something like 27 years of repeat investigations into one's tangled affairs. Except in Sweden. Sweden's not interested.

That's the same sunshine that publisher/journalist Julian Assange, has now been deprived of for 3 years under siege at the Ecuador Embassy in London, pinned in place by Sweden's political and legal manoeuvres and Sweden's inaction.  Inaction seems bizarre at first - but it makes perfect and rather perverse sense, when you consider that inaction has been Sweden's legal and political strategy for blockading Assange in place for almost a 5 years stretch now, pending delivering him up to the US superpower by extradition.

Detaining a journalist for 5 years pursuant to flimsy police allegations, with aid of a rubber-stamp European Arrest Warrant, is becoming internationally embarrassing and difficult to explain away.

Just when you think there couldn't be anything more humiliating for Swedish justice (and the Swedish 'humanitarian' state) to explain, than nearly 5 years of Sweden doing its utmost to contravene international law (and, inexplicably, even basic, common sense), by blocking the passage of an individual granted political asylum (via the inaction / stalemate MO, by refusing to interview), we find yet more embarrassing, dirt under Sweden's jolly Ikea rug, just begging to be explained.

More Swedish government dirt in the story of a Swedish Greek island expatriate, who has gone some 27 years - yes, folks, that's 27 years - without so much as a formal police interview, having been accused of being involved in the killing of a Swedish Prime Minister.  And accused by some of being the shooter.

So, ... I take it we can't expect an international arrest warrant on the pretext of some kind any time soon, for immediate apprehension of a Sapo agent, foreign government spy, alleged mercenary, and an alleged assassin of Sweden's much-loved Prime Minister?  Don't suppose there'll be a Sapo or CIA kidnapping either?

Yet, at breakneck speed in 2010, during the bombshell WikiLeaks publication of US secrets, Sweden obtained a European Arrest Warrant and Interpol Red Notice for Assange, on the strength of what sure sounds like nothing but, remarkably convenient, Swedish police allegations of 'sexual misconduct.'

And before you could say 'Abba', Julian Assange was banged up in Britain - and has been since:
  • for around 2 years under house arrest pursuant to a European Arrest Warrant;
  • for 3 years under siege in the Ecuadorian Embassy;
  • for about a total of 5 years effective detention without charge or interview;
  • on trumped up police allegations of 'sexual misconduct', based on what amounts to 'alleged interviews' that weren't even properly carried out or properly recorded by Swedish law enforcement authorities.
Meanwhile, an obliging UK (which has made a legal exception of Assange) has now incurred a cost of £11,884,830.00 British pounds (and counting).

The British government's payrolled police-enforcer, brute footsoldiers, stand guard inside and outside the Ecuadorian Embassy, London, where Julian Assange has sought (and was granted) political asylum, in view of (a) political persecution and (b) threat to his life should he be apprehended and extradited to USA, by way of an extradition to Sweden.

Please, remind me again what this is about?  'Sexual misconduct?'  Condoms?
The UK crown prosecution service has also refused a request under the Freedom of Information Act in relation to communications over potential extradition arrangements, stating that it would affect Great Britain’s diplomatic relations with other countries. In the middle of last year, the UK’s extradition reform panel, which was appointed by the home secretary, met with Eric Holder, the US attorney general, and a number of members of the Defence Department in the United States.

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2012/03/jass-m16.html

The facts surrounding this legal and political assault on Assange and on WikiLeaks, and a number of suspicious violations, irregularities, and anomalies in the Swedish police investigation and government handling of such assault on publisher Assange speak for themselves.

Yet, Sweden, the US and UK, would have you believe, it's 'nothing' at all to do with the release of:
  • the Collateral Murder video on 5th April 2010 (depicting US war crimes); or
  • the release of the Afghan War Logs: 2004-2010 (comprising 91,000 US reports), on 25 July 2010);
and, really - no really - nothing at all to do with an enraged US political and military establishment, which deployed its resources, agents and influence to decommission Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, by any means whatsoever.  Perhaps even by way of 'allegations' put forward by the same Swedish law enforcement establishment, that is answerable to Swedish politicians who, in turn, have made a habit of answering to America and assisting the CIA behind closed doors, against Swedish law and the constitution.

Sweden's unusually laissez fair attitude in respect of the accused Sweden Prime Minister Olof Palme alleged assassin (mercenary/Sapo agent), enjoying a peaceful Greek decades-long 'extended holiday' without so much as a formal Swedish police interview, stands in stark contrast to the legal, financial and personal nightmare (and grave threat to life and well-being) that WikiLeaks publisher, Julian Assange, faces.

Bertil Wedin: contacts with SÄPO, South Africa, & the Turkish secret service
A number of sources within the former South African secret services are now pointing out Bertil Wedin, the Swede who worked for Craig Williamson in London, as the man who actually shot Palme.

Mr Wedin has a remarkable profile: He is a notorious right-wing extremist and professional soldier with a past as a Congo mercenary and an officer of the Swedish Army. He also worked as an informer for SÄPO (the Swedish state security police) in the 1970. In the 1980s, Wedin was recruited by the South African secret services and was eventually stationed in London as one of Craig Williamson’s men in the "Long Reach" operation. Since 1985 Wedin has lived in the Turkish part of Cyprus. He has worked for, among others the Turkish Ministry of Information and is said to have excellent contacts with the Turkish secret service MIT. Last, not least, Wedin is also a member of WAcl. [here]

Craig Williamson infiltrated Swedish anti-apartheid agency

In the 1970s, Craig Williamson, posing as a South African student opposed to apartheid, managed to get himself employed by the International University Exchange Fund (IUEF) in Geneva. The real purpose of this organisation, set up by the Swedish Social Democrats, was actually to channel secret Swedish financial assistance to the anti-apartheid movement, in particular to the ANC. In the Palme era, Sweden was the only Western country providing generous support to the ANC and Palme was an outspoken enemy of the Apartheid regime. In 1980, it came to light that Williamson was spying for the South African secret service and had managed to divert considerable sums destined for anti-apartheid groups to none other than the hit squads of the South African secret service. Through his infiltration of IUEF Williamson acquired excellent insider knowledge of Swedish politics and, above all, of some of Palme’s closest collaborators. He must also have understood Palme’s instrumental role in the fight against South African apartheid. [here]

The Swedish connection

In Sweden, speculation about possible involvement of extreme-right circles within the police and the military in Palme’s murder have flourished for ten years. The recent allegations made by a number of former members of the South African secret services have given rise to new questions in Sweden about this "police link". The number of hints pointing in this direction is alarming. [here]
