The IB affair

[edit]

In what was to be known as the IB affair, Peter Bratt revealed Informationsbyrån together with Jan Guillou in the magazine Folket i Bild/Kulturfront. He also published his own book on IB from Gidlunds förlag (publishers) in 1973, IB och hotet mot vår säkerhet (IB and the threat against our security).

The Geijer affair

[edit]

In November 1977, Peter Bratt published an article in Dagens Nyheter on a memo in which the Police Commissioner had stated that the Minister for Justice Lennart Geijer was a security risk.[1] This led to the Geijer affair, a scandal involving prostitution.[2]
