Two Swedish Academy members attack each other in today's papers.
Horace Engdahl (a former Permanent Secretary) calls the group that wanted to
sack Katarina Frostenson for leaking Nobel Prize winners (and having ties to
the guy running the under-the-table-pay /s/e/x culture club, as being her
husband) "a bunch of losers" in an article in today's Expressen. And present
Permanent Secretary Sara Danius is "the worst since 1786". Through Google

Kjell Espmark (former chairman of the Academy's Nobel Committee) strikes
back. Horace Engdahl has "no honour left in his body" and Engdahl's piece is
"the most false and nefariousl" he has read in his life. Google Translate

The paper Dagens Nyheter at the same time writes that J-C Arnault
(Frostenson's husband) has releaved at least seven Nobel Prize laureates in
advance, from 1996 and on:

This goes towards the most serious allegation against Frostenson. You can bet
on the Nobel Prize, win money, and on several occasions the winner odds have
had strange fluctuations. The odds for Le Clezio wenrt from 15 to 1 in 2008,
for instance (ie no money back at all, the result was out beforehand obviously).
One commenter noted that the Academy's "mud wrestling has reach a new low".
More to come...
