Substack: The Assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme

On Friday, February 28th, 1986 at 11:02 PM, Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palm was leaving the Grand Cinema with his wife and his son when he was shot to death walking down the street.

After Olof and his family exited the cinema, he and his wife said goodbye to their son and then began walking down the street toward their home.

Witnesses observed a man following the couple and two men walking ahead of the couple, their testimonies explained that they believed the couple was walking in a group of five individuals. Several other witnesses alleged to have seen multiple men with walkie-talkies up and down the street before the killing.

Stig Engström, a key witness for the case, witnessed the couple walking past a guy on the street. The guy allegedly waited for Olof and his wife Lisbeth to walk past. He then reached out and put his right hand on Olof’s shoulder and pulled the trigger, shooting them both in the back.

Despite being shot in the back twice, Lisbeth miraculously had not been fatally shot due to the fact that she turned slightly when the shooter approached them. But her husband, and the Prime Minister, Olof Palme, he had been fatally shot.

At 11:23 PM, Engström called the police and reported a murder in Sveavägen and chaos in Sweden had begun. Unbeknownst to him at the time, Engström would go on to be the police’s number one suspect in the case before he passed away in June 2000.

Olof Palme VS. The CIA

It’s been long said that Olof Palme was known as “The man who played with fire,” meaning that he was dabbling inside dangerous territory alongside the Swedish Deep State.

Palme, was a leader of the socialist Democratic Party in Sweden at the time of his assassination, and he was often criticized for his views on progressive politics and his condemnation of U.S. foreign policy.

Two days after his murder, Swedish Journalist Stieg Larsson was working as an illustrator for “TT” a large news organization in Sweden when he was assigned to work the case.

After witnessing first hand, how sloppy the investigation had been and how there had been virtually no evidence collected, Larsson became convinced that there was something more to the story, and he began working on it independently.

The Swedish police and the media were selling a story of a lone killer who killed the prime minister, but they had no motive or arrest to back up their story. While Larsson studied the case, it became clear to him that there was a war between Sweden and South Africa involving weapons of mass destruction.

He believed that Palme was trying to expose illegal weapon trades that were happening in Sweden and the right-wing political party alongside South Africa, and the CIA had him assassinated for it.
