Nils Erik Åhmansson

Nils Erik Hjalmar Åhmansson (born 23 May 1941), is a Swedish civil servant. Åhmansson was National Police Commissioner from 1 January 1988 to 20 October 1988. He was chairman of the Swedish Kennel Club from 1993 to 2015.

Early life Åhmansson was born on 23 May 1941 in Gothenburg, Sweden, the son of Carl-Erik Åhmansson, an insurance managing director, and his wife Ingeborg (née Wulff). He received a Candidate of Law degree in 1968 and did his clerkship from 1968 to 1970. Åhmansson underwent police chief training from 1971 to 1972. Within a year the Ebbe Carlsson affair had begun, which Åhmansson was personally involved in.

In connection with the investigation of the assassination of Olof Palme, Åhmansson met several times with the so-called "private investigator" Ebbe Carlsson. On 27 July 1988, Åhmansson and Holmér were questioned by the Committee on the Constitution, and during a second hearing of Åhmansson on 3 August, two police at the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) said that they perceived the case that Ebbe Carlsson acted on behalf of Åhmansson. Chancellor of Justice Hans Stark suspended the investigation of possible crimes against the confidentiality against Ebbe Carlsson on 3 October, and announced on the same day that he should instead review Åhmansson's duties. In his report on 17 October, Stark demanded that Åhmansson would resign, as he did on 19 October. Åhmansson then became an expert at the Ministry of Justice and became director of the insurance company Skandia. Åhmansson, in his capacity as chairman of the Swedish Kennel Club, held a place in the Swedish Cynological Academy. He was elected chairman of the Swedish Cynological Academy at its first meeting.

Personal life In 1968, he married the physiotherapist Lena Carlstedt (born 1941), the daughter of Arne Carlstedt and Karin (née Larsson).
