Per Wendel, (28 January 1947 - 10 October 2005) was a Swedish journalist. He worked for the Expressen newspaper from 1973 until his death.[1] Wendel was the main investigative journalist who told about the Ebbe Carlsson affair, which forced the then justice-minister Anna-Greta Leijon to resign. After Wendels funeral after his death from cancer in 2005, Expressen started the Per Wendel-pris an annual award for investigative journalists.[2] [3]
