Subject and Message
Dear Advocat Namn maskerat
I refer to our telephone conversation earlier this morning about our efforts to get in touch with Namn maskerat .
The Swedish Chief Prosecutor Jan Danielsson and Superintendent Hans Ölvebro who are at present in Cape Town would be most interested in talking to Philip Powell about his possible knowledge about the identity of the person who killed the Swedish Prime Minister, Mr Olof Palme, in 1986.
As you will remember, there were several media reports after Namn maskerat had made his statement in court to the effect that Philip Powell would be the person who had provided } with information about this matter.
I enclose an article from that deals with this question and in which Philip Powell denies any knowledge about such a statement to Namn maskerat (I also enclose an excerpt from the but in the only page I have got there is no reference made to Namn maskerat .)
May I also add that the Swedish investigators have informed me that Namn maskerat in his talks with the investigators have adamantly stated that Philip Powell was his source for this information.
As you will understand Mr Jan Danielsson and Mr Hans Ölvebro would be most keen in checking this information with Philip Powell
.
It would be preferable if they could be in touch with Namn maskerat today (Tuesday) or tomorrow at the very latest.
I would therefore be most obliged to you if you could give me an indication as soon as possible where and when a meeting could be arranged.
Your sincerly
(Namnteckning)
Bo Heinebäck
Ambassador
