Efterlyst ("Wanted") is a Swedish television program, equivalent of America's Most Wanted . The show plays security camera footage, reconstructions of crimes, and then takes calls and tips from the Swedish public. Since it was first aired, Efterlyst has led to the identification and arrest of many of Sweden's most noted criminals. In Swedish prisons, Efterlyst is commonly referred to as "Golnytt", literally meaning "Snitch-news".

The host, Hasse Aro, was, until the season of 2009, assisted by crime-expert Leif G W Persson. From the 2010 season he is assisted by former State Police Chief Tommy Lindström. Since 2011 he is assisted by Jens Lapidus and Thomas Bodström. In the 2012 season only Thomas Bodström will assist as expert commentator.

On 5 February 2014, Aro made his last appearance as host of Efterlyst. [1] Robert Aschberg and Jenny Gourman Strid will be the new hosts of the show. [2]

Joachim Ralph Posener, is a Swedish financier and author. Posener is a lawyer by educated who was active in the Swedish finance trade from the late 1980s to the end of the 1990s. He became publicly known in November 1997 after having been accused by the media as being the mastermind behind Lord Moynes acquisition of the Swedish publicly traded company Trustor AB. The company acquisition, which later become known as the Trustor affair eventually ended with one of Lord Moynes "Team" members, Thomas Jisander, being sent to a prison term. When Swedish police acted against Lord Moyne and his "team" in October 1997 Posener happened to be abroad, and he chose then according to his own statements to not return to Sweden. This became very well publicized in Swedish media and also led to Posener being hand down an international arrest warrant. According to his own statements he was at first for some time in Spain, and later he is supposed to have lived in Argentina. In spite of the International Arrest Warrant Posener was never found by the police and the crimes the police had suspected him of were no longer actionable against Mr Posener due to the Swedish law on statute of limitations. No one of Lord Moynes "team" could be accused in any court of law with regard to the Trustor Affair after the 20 June 2007.
