The prestigious academy, established in 1786 by King Gustav III, commissioned an investigation by a law firm. The Swedish Economic Crime Authority tweeted it had received the academy report but declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation. But he previously told Reuters his client denies all allegations of sexual harassment, and others, including leaking names of winners. Sara Danius, the first woman to serve as permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, has stepped down amid the uproar. On Thursday, thousands gathered outside the Swedish Academy to demand all its remaining members resign.
