Anitra Steen
Anitra Linnéa Steen (born Anitra Linnéa Bergström on 13 May 1949) is a Swedish politician and civil servant. Between 1999 and May 2009, when she retired, she was the manager of Systembolaget, the Swedish state alcohol retailing monopoly.[1] In that role she has been forced to cope with a full blown corruption scandal, involving bribery of shop managers and senior staff by some major suppliers, including Vin & Sprit, formerly the producing and importing division of the Swedish state monopoly. Vin & Sprit is now owned by Pernod Ricard.
Steen was born in Fagersta, Västmanland. Since 6 December 2003 she is married Göran Persson, former Prime Minister of Sweden. She has kept the surname Steen from her previous marriage. Because of her personal connection to the head of the Swedish government, her independence as a board member of Scandinavian Airlines, which is jointly owned by the Scandinavian governments, has been put in question by some.
