Bo G. Andersson, Sweden
He has investigated numerous scandals, from illegal arms deals to the murder of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme. In 1987, working with Indian journalists, he broke the story of how Swedish weapons manufacturer Bofors allegedly bribed the Indian government of Rajiv Gandhi to secure a multibillion-dollar howitzer deal. His 1993 book, The Bofors Files, details Sweden’s secret dealings with Iran and the East German secret police. He later co-produced a TV documentary on the case, based on previously secret Stasi files. Andersson has won several awards, including a 1997 Swedish Carnegie Institute award for an investigative series involving the European Court in Strasbourg and has been nominated for Sweden’s highest journalistic honors. He is one of the founders of Gravande Journalister, Sweden’s investigative reporters’ association.
