Sven Emil Sigvard Nilsson-Thurneman (November 14, 1908 in Sala, Sweden – July 11, 1979 in Bromma, Sweden), was the leader of the so-called "Salaligan" (The Sala gang) during the first years of the 1930s.
Thurneman, a young office clerk, was said to have formed his assumed name upon an anagram from the English word "manhunter", although this proved to be false.
Thurneman was known to speak English but he spoke German much better.When he was applying for a name change he gave two suggestions: "Thurneman" and "Turneman".
Both names were variations of a common German surname.
