Sven bergman

Sven Bergman is an investigative reporter/producer for the current affairs show "Uppdrag Granskning" on Swedish Public Broadcasting, SVT. He works in a team with Fredrik Laurin and Joachim Dyfvermark.

The team were in 2005 rewarded with a number of awards including Stora Journalistpriset (Swedish equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize) for their reporting on the secret deportation of two Egyptians in what was one of the first operations known as "Extraordinary rendition".

The two men, Ahmed Agiza and Muhammed Al Zery, were taken from Bromma airport in Sweden in December 2001 to Egypt in a covert operation by US agents and handed over to Egyptian security services and were subsequently tortured.

The story caused a major uproar in Sweden, drew international attention and was one of the first to shed light on "Extraordinary Rendition". The plane uncovered in the report as the one used in the rendition was a US registered Gulfstream V with the registration number N379P. It was found by the reporters, and their partners in the reporting like UK-reporter Stephen Grey to be part of a much larger fleet of planes used for rendition operations.

Sven Bergman and his colleagues also received several awards, among them a second "Stora Journalistpriset", for their 2007 report on the bribery in the sale of the Swedish jet-fighter Gripen to the Czech Republic, Hungary and South Africa.
