Bertil Wedin (21 November 1940 – 4 March 2022) was a Swedish secret service agent. He was accused in a British court of burglarizing the Pan Africanist Congress office in London in 1982, but was acquitted. In 1996 he was named as a suspect in the assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, a claim he denied. The accuser, Peter Caselton, and others had sought amnesty from South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the 1982 bombing of the ANC office in London; Caselton was linked to an apartheid-era assassination squad. Wedin was also suspected of bombing the ANC Stockholm office in 1986, which he denied. He lived in Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus, and died on 4 March 2022 at age 81.
