COPENHAGEN — The Swedish Academy, which hands out the coveted Nobel Prize in Literature, says an investigation has found “unacceptable behaviour in the form of unwanted intimacy” has taken place within its ranks.
The 18-member board has in recent weeks been embroiled in a sex-abuse scandal that the investigation report concluded Friday was “not generally known.”
It has led to the departure of six of members of the Academy and tarnished the prize’s reputation.
Sweden’s prime minister, the king and the Nobel board have all expressed their concerns.
