Erik Boheman

Erik Carlsson Boheman (19 January 1895 – 18 September 1979), was a Swedish diplomat and politician for the Liberal People's Party.

In 1920, he got a permanent position at the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and during the beginning of the 1930s he was Sweden's envoy to Istanbul, Sofia, Athens, Warsaw and Bucharest.

In 1938, he was appointed State Secretary for Foreign Affairs and held that position during World War II, up until 1945.

[5] After World War II, Boheman falsely stated that "ignorant and over-diligent American economic spies" had "accused the Wallenberg group unjustly of having acted in collusion with the Germans" related to Bosch interests.

[2] Alongside his political mandates Boheman was also chairman of the board of directors of Saab Automobile (1958–1970),[2] Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken and several other companies within the heavy industry sector.
