On one of Stockholm's busiest streets, Sweden's prime minister was gunned down after a night at the movies. What followed was one of the largest investigations in Europe's history involving conspiracy theories of spies, political enemies, and foreign governments. Today, we uncover the assassination of Olof Palme. This is Red Web.
Welcome back, Task Force, to another episode of Red Web, the podcast all about unsolved mysteries, true crime, and the paranormal. I am your resident mystery enthusiast, Trevor Collins, and joining me hearing this case for the very first time, Alfredo Diaz.

I want to jump the gun on this one to kind of really... I mean, it's a prime minister of Sweden, so you imagine it's going to be...
But fun fact, like it's worth mentioning, this case was so large, investigators interrogated over 10,000 people. And Fredo, you know this one. We had 134 confessions out of the woodwork over the years. So who knows what comes out of this?

I was nowhere near, but I did it.
But yes, this is going to be a twisty turny one. We're going to go into the political background to give you all the information necessary to get that context and that groundwork laid. We'll talk about the scene of the crime, what few witnesses were there, but people did see some stuff. And then, of course, we're going to follow up with some of the key suspects.
