Overview
- Dagens Nyheter published previously unseen 2005 emails in which Barbro Ehnbom introduced a 20-year-old Sofia Hellqvist to Jeffrey Epstein and he offered to send a ticket to the Caribbean.
- The Royal Court said Sofia was presented to Epstein on several occasions around 2005, declined any Caribbean invitation, and has had no contact with him for roughly two decades.
- Reporting says Sofia’s name appears in Epstein-related files and mentions proposed acting-school help, which the palace rejects as incorrect alongside any suggestion of visa assistance.
- Ehnbom denies acting as an intermediary and calls interpretations of her emails distorted, while acknowledging she knew Epstein and received donations for scholarships.
- A friend who accompanied Sofia at the time told Dagens Nyheter the meetings occurred, and Sofia missed the Nobel evening after the revelations drew public scrutiny.
