Fredrik Laurin has worked as a freelance investigative reporter for more than a decade and in a reporting/producing team with Sven Bergman and Joachim Dyfvermark since 2000. The team's story, “The Illegal Cod,” was broadcast on Swedish National TV4 in September 2008, and it won The International Consortium of International Journalists’ Daniel Pearl Award for the best investigation by an international medium. For their reporting of the 2004 story, “Extraordinary Rendition,” which revealed the top-secret deportation from Sweden of two Egyptian men by masked American agents, they received many awards, including the Stora Journalistpriset, the Swedish equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize.
