Peter Bratt (born 29 April 1944) is a Swedish journalist. For many years he worked for the national Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter until he quit 2003.
The IB affair
In what was to be known as the IB affair, Peter Bratt revealed Informationsbyrån together with Jan Guillou in the magazine Folket i Bild/Kulturfront. He also published his own book on IB from Gidlunds förlag (publishers) in 1973, IB och hotet mot vår säkerhet (IB and the threat against our security).
The Geijer affair In November 1977, Peter Bratt published an article in Dagens Nyheter on a memo in which the Police Commissioner had stated that the Minister for Justice Lennart Geijer was a security risk. This led to the Geijer affair, a scandal involving prostitution of children in the fostercare system.
