Leif GW Persson is one of Sweden’s most famous and beloved profiles. He has had a long and successful career, not only as a writer, professor and criminologist, but also as a star in the TV box.
His TV career took off in the late 1990s as a participant in programs such as “Efterlyst”. With his sharp analytical ability and his engaging way of presenting complex issues, he quickly became a sought-after expert commentator.
In 2010, he took the step to host the hit program “Crime of the Week” on SVT. In the program he analyzed current crime cases and gave his view on the work of the police. “Crime of the week” became an institution on Swedish TV and attracted an audience of millions over the years.
Leif GW Persson is leaving TV
In recent years, Leif GW Persson has changed the channel to TV4’s program “Brottsjournalen” and was an expert commentator on TV4’s “News Morning” and that is where he today in a live broadcast released the news that he is quitting TV. Of course, his decision has to do with his health and age and he wants to focus on writing books.
But the TV career is only a small part of Leif GW Persson’s career. He has also received many awards over the years for his brilliant work. Let’s hope he continues to be prolific in his writing for many years to come.
