Erik Bengtzboe (born February 9, 1987 in Nyköping, Södermanland) is a Swedish Moderate Party politician who was Member of the Riksdag from January 2015 to April 2019. Bengtzboe served as chairman of the Moderate Youth League from 2010 to 2014.[1]
He was also a member of parliament from 2010 to 2011 as he was chosen to fill the spot from his Moderate Party colleague and the former Speaker of the Riksdag Per Westerberg.[2] He resigned on 26 April 2019 following Aftonbladet's report series "The Politician's Receipts". The newspaper's articles showed that Bengtzboe received SEK 158,000 in allowances and compensation for an overnight apartment in Stockholm, since he was recorded with his mother in Nyköping, while his wife and children were recorded in the apartment.
Previously, he served as chairman of the Moderate School Youth and association board member of the Moderate Youth League.
Besides politics, he studies Industrial Engineering and Management at Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. However, he has taken a study break for his political commitments.
