"Palme was the leader of the Swedish Social Democratic Party from 1969 until his assassination in 1986. He was also the Prime Minister of Sweden twice during this period, heading a Privy Council Government from 1969 to 1976 and a cabinet government from 1982 until his death. Olof Palme was also a pivotal figure in international politics in the 1970s and 1980s as he practiced non-alignment and also aided many third world liberation movements. Palme's murder was the first of its kind in modern Swedish history and had a great impact across Scandinavia." [Wikipedia]
Walking home from a cinema with his wife Lisbet Palme on the central Stockholm street Sveavägen, close to midnight on February 28, 1986, Palme was shot to death.
Two years later, Christer Pettersson, a small-time criminal and drug addict, was arrested, tried and convicted for Palme's murder. Pettersson's conviction was later overturned on appeal to the Svea Court of Appeal. As a result the crime remains unsolved.
The Baseball League Theory
The fact that the crime remains unsolved has obviously raised many theories about the author/s: the CIA, the KGB, etc.
But the most surprising and solid theory is the one about the "baseball league", a group of far-right police extremists that had officially existed until 1983. Some of its former members were seen by witnesses near the murder scene.
As in the case of JFK many witnesses testify seeing noticing strange things, like men with walkie-talkies, police cars, etc; and all these before the murder. Even the response of the police in the minutes following the shooting was rather odd.
Some (if not all) of these policemen present in near the place of the murder in the moment preceding it have been identified. But nothing of these was never investigated.
It is evident that this murder has influenced many of the present writers, especially Stieg Larsson (as can be clearly seen in "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest").
Timeline according to Ray Alex [Google Translated]:
"Stockholm, 28th February 1986, Old Town underground station.
20:35. No one gets out of the subway car. A woman see something odd. She notice a man who has an antenna sticking out of his jacket. Just before she comes to the exit she turns and looks curiously on how the man speaks in a walkie-talkie. Four minutes later, Olof Palme was to buy a subway ticket at exactly this station.
20:37 In a staircase hundred meters from the subway entrance a witness see a man who speaks in a walkie-talkie. Twenty feet away is Olof Palme and Lisbet walking towards the metro station.
20:38 Another woman notice in this metro station, two men who seem to keep a look out for someone or waiting.
20:39 As the Palme couple hits the subway entrance. Thirty feet behind them is a man with dark skin. A witness said that the man was haunting the Palme couple.
20:43 The Metro comes into the station. A witness is in the same car as the Palme couple enters in. She noticed a man at the last moment, jump into the wagon and seems to be keeping watch on Olof Palme. He has dark skin. The driver is also the conductor. He gets out at each station and monitors the service. In so doing, he sees how the two men following Olof Palme in to the Metro
20:47 underground station Rådmansgatan. The Palme couple leaves the Metro. The driver noticed that the same two men disembark and continue to follow the Palme couple.
20:50 Palme enter the Grand cinema. Other visitors to the cinema told the Police later that they had observed a man with a walkie-talkie in the street corner.However No real follow up or action was taken by the Police regarding this testimony.
21:10. Just between cinema and subsequent murder location is a man with a walkie-talkie seen again according to witnesses. No real follow up or action was taken by the Police regarding this testimony either.
22:10 In the immediate area of the future murder spot, is a man with a walkie-talkie. Witnesses have said. No real follow up or action was taken by the Police regarding this testimony either.
23:00 The film Mozart comes to an end. Approximately nine hundred meters from the cinema 2 witnesses see how a Police car caught up chasing a bus. From a Police car a man in plainclothes entered the bus. The 2 witnesses is a bit puzzled. No real follow up or action was taken by the Police regarding this testimony either.
23:05 The film is now completed. Fifty meters from the Grand cinema front 2 other witnesses see three men running. They run parallel to Olof Palme`s supposed way home. No real follow up or action was taken by the Police regarding this testimony either
23:10 Cinema begins to be empty. At that time three hundred meters east of the cinema sits a witness and looking out her window. She has observed since more than twenty minutes, two men standing and talking next to a car with the engine running in walkie-talkies. When a Police car passes, they are suddenly gone. At the same time, in the park three hundred meters west of the cinema is a Police car on the sidewalk. A witness asks why it is not 2 officers in this car as usual. He sits there but does not use the Police radio, instead he speaks in a walkie-talkie. She could hear his last words before leaving…”oh well” suddenly the Police car moves away from there.
23:12 A witness looks at Tranebergsbron and see many Police cars going after each other in the direction of the Grand cinema. Although such a concentration of Police cars are rarely seen in Stockholm at this time. Central Police station knows nothing about this.
23:15 Palme is already on Sveavägen. a witness looks at the junction Bagares David Street and Government Street, and approximately 400 meters east of the cinema, he can see the two men looking into an empty storefront. While speaking in two walkie-talkies. No real follow up or action was taken by the Police regarding this testimony either.
23:16 Corner Sveavägen and Tunnel Street. Five minutes before the murder. A few meters away from the murder scene a taxi driver sees a man with a walkie-talkie. No real follow up or action was taken by the Police regarding this testimony either.
23:17 A stroller, we call him John, and his girlfriend goes Adolf Fredrik Church Street towards Sveavägen. Fifty meters from the spot where Palme will die within a few moments, John can see yet a man with a walkie talkie. When John pass him he turns around and looks him straight in the face. John recognize this man. He is quite certain that he has seen this man before. It`s Alfred. Alfred is a Police officer.
23:21 2 friends traveling in a car towards the murder scene. When they are nearly one hundred feet from the spot they hear two shots.
A white Volvo then drives up and block them.
23:22 A witness stands with his car at the intersection of the red light Sveavägen and Tunnel Street. He suddenly becomes a witness to the fatal shots. He tries to immediately alert the Police on his NMT mobile phone. The call was recorded with the mobile phone company, but no one answers at the Police station. The Police in the Swedish capital can strangely not be alerted. It is only possible 23:26 now how weird is that?
23:23 The murderer has fled up the stairs to Malmskillnadsgatan. There he runs past the a witness, who notice that he is trying to put something down in a small plastic bag, and he seems to have trouble with a a zipper. No real follow up or action was taken by the Police regarding this testimony either.
23:23. Another witness to the murderer, follows him on David Bagares Street, 150 feet from the eastern murder scene, he loses track. The street is totally empty of people. Only one Police car slowly drive past without the blue lights on.?
23:24 Near the murder scene are three men with walkie-talkies seen by three witnesses. No real follow up or action was taken by the Police regarding this testimony either.
Still 23:24. Five minutes before the murder, the alarm goes out over polisradio included a press photographer who can hear this on his special receiver, he can hear a walkie-talkie call: “Hey you up there .. how does it look like ..” – “Good, but it’s damn cold” – “The Prime Minister is shot” The last statement sounded more pleased than dismayed, as if something was done. No real follow up or action was taken by the Police regarding this testimony either.
23:25. Four minutes after the shots. Five hundred meters east of the murder scene, bus 43 to Eriksberg Street stops. Two men want to get on. They both seem excited. One of them is getting in, the second one hesitates at the bus door. Then he looks up at the ceiling, notice the bus number, and then moves out . In his hand he has a gray plastic bag in A4 format with a zipper. The same type of a plastic bag, the earlier witness has seen carried by the fleeing killer two minutes earlier. In such plastic bags Stockholm civilian Police officers carry their service firearms. This situation is not only noticed by the bus driver and the witnesses but also another traveler, TV producer Lars Kranz.
Four days later, Lars Kranz sits in court and watch his monitors. There he sees a man, he notice him because of his unusual cheek party, that anyone will recognize instantly. It is the man with the plastic bag he saw on bus 43. He takes out the man’s name. It is Alfred. The same Alfred John saw just before the assassination, one of the walkie-talkie men. But there is also another witness who can confirmed Alfred’s presence at the murder scene, that is the bus driver on bus 43. He later also identified other man who stepped into bus 43, his name is Gunnar.
Gunnar and Alfred are Police officers in the Police district of Norrmalm Stockholm. Gunnar and Alfred during their Police career almost always worked together. In less than two years the team was notified 70 times for brutal tactics against civilians, but very rarely convicted. Always missing some documents, and the two coleges was not notified. These two so called officers at the time also interrogated a suspected drug dealer to death in a room down the in Tube Station. Why wasn’t this track followed?
Gunnar and Alfred were also members of the notorious baseball gang. A civilian unit founded in 1982 by Norrmalm Police to restrict the street and drug crime. But this was done so brutally that group was dissolved a year later. The two so called officers worked as Policemen in the notorious baseball gang together until the assassination of Olof Palme. The right-wing twisted baseball gang was said to harbor fanatical hatred towards Olof Palme. The Baseball gang`s creator was indeed none other than Hans Holmer. TV producer Lars Kranz is since more then thirty years a journalist and a trained crime reporter. After he had recognized that Alfred was the man who stepped on the bus, he knew what he had to do. He confronts reconnaissance management director Hans Holmer the same evening after a press conference in the radio housing. Kranz tells Holmer of his sighting and shows a newspaper with a picture of Alfred. Holmers ask who it is, is Holmer backing up one of his friends by this question? a friend that can disappear quickly. Why was Holmérs bodyguard`s consisting of members from the baseball gang.?
There are to many “co incidents” about this murder. And if anyone starts to look into it, they can see that this was a conspiracy setup."
