The Haijby affair

A former restauranter, Kurt Haijby, claimed to have been a lover of the king between 1912 and 1932. During Gustaf's life, Haijby was paid 170,000 Swedish kronor by the court of Sweden to maintain his silence, which would appear to substantiate his claim. In 1938 Haijby was arrested for paedophilia and placed in an asylum at Beckomberga. Following this, the court offered him a further 400 crowns a month if he left the country. He accepted this deal. However, Haijby breached the agreement, returning to Sweden in 1940 and writing a book about his life with the king. The entire printing was bought by the court and destroyed. This article is about the Swedish unit of currency. ...

After Gustaf's death, papers detailing Haijby's complaint to the Attorney General of Sweden about his enforced detention in the asylum were smuggled out of the Attorney General's office by writer Vilhelm Moberg.
