Primary Evidence

"soon turned out that Erik Åkerlund had deceived everyone: he did not actually own the Stockholms-Tidningen, but only acted as a front for Ivar Kreuger’s brother, Torsten. He had tried to build a monopoly position in the Stockholm press. But it had partially occurred in secrecy. Since he already owned Aftonbladet and Stockholms Dagblad, he used Åkerlund as a front in Stockholms-Tidningen. In this way, he could conceal who the real owner was. But now Torsten Kreuger, probably undeservedly, was drawn into the storm winds after his brother’s breathtaking business deals, and soon he was prosecuted for some dealings on the periphery of the financial scandal."

"Ruben now began to realize his visions. This was facilitated by the fact that Erik Åkerlund did not take an active part in the daily management of the company. It was not just Lito & Kartong that he had bought after the sale of the publishing house, but also the Stockholms-Tidningen. There he had then started working as the CEO, a role he embraced with vigor and enthusiasm."
