Jan Emanuel[1] (born Jan Emanuel Johanssson on 2 May 1974) is a Swedish healthcare entrepreneur, Social Democratic politician and Member of Parliament (MP) from 2002 to 2006, who also held seats in the Riksdagen as a replacement at different times (2006, 2008 and 2009).[2] He was again MP between March 2009 and October 2010, this time as a replacement for Pär Nuder.[3] He has sat on the Social Committee, Parliamentary Committees as well as the foreign ministry. He is reputed to be the Social Democratic MP who put forward the highest number motions during his time at the Riksdagen. He was MP representing the Norrtälje municipality council between 1998 and 2010.[4]

Emanuel participated in the reality series Expedition Robinson, broadcast on SVT in 2001, which he ended up winning for a prize of SEK 500,000.[5][6]

He has received several awards for his achievements, such as "Super-entrepreneur of the Year" by the Veckans Affärer paper, which he bagged for four years in a row between 2007 and 2010. In February 2012, he was investigated by the Economic Crime Unit, and accused of tax fraud and accounting offences.[7] In June 2013, Emanuel was acquitted of the tax fraud charge but found guilty at Gotlands courts of obstruction of tax regulations, despite his denial of accounting offences.[8]
