A Swedish author who has written two books on the Palme killing said Mrs Rausing first contacted him in June 2011. She claimed she had learned that Palme had been killed by an entrepreneur who feared the politician was a threat to his business.
I remember this murder happening when I was a teenager, although that era was blighted across Europe by political violence especially in UK and FR, (terrorist bombs, strikes, assasinations and all sorts) this was viewed as unusual as Sweden is viewed as a relatively peaceful country
UK cops are also assisting with the investigation. One significant point is the Rausing family took their significant capital out of Sweden to England to escape high taxes, and thus would have had friends more towards the centre right of politics. The main Rausing bloke (the addict couples dad) was very hostile to the “socialist” politics of Sweden (which aren’t all that left wing, though they do give good public services)
Most folk are aware extremists will not stop short of political assasination, but if a “normal business person” is prepared to murder a democratically elected of a European country that is serious stuff (it confirms my suspcions that there has been simmering civil warfare across Europe for the last 30 years).
