12月18日，一名瑞典的检察官说，正在调查某些诺贝尔奖评审员涉嫌受贿的事情，涉嫌者接受了免费前往中国的邀请，去讨论令人垂涎的诺贝尔奖项问题。
据美联社记者从瑞典斯德哥尔摩报导说，瑞典政府的反腐败检察官尼尔斯，埃里克舒尔茨（Nils-Erik Schultz）说，他已立案调查此事，以确定这些人在2006年和2008年的中国之行是否影响了诺贝尔委员会的评审决策。不过他拒绝透露受调查的评审员的姓名。
瑞典电台（Swedish Radio）披露的有关调查报告说，有3名诺贝尔医学，化学和物理学评审委员被中国邀请，去中国解释诺贝尔奖的甄选过程，以及需要采取哪些步骤来赢得诺贝尔奖。中国政府当局为他们支付了飞机票、旅馆和餐饮开支。
美联社的报导说，如果这些人被控的罪名成立，他们将面临罚款或最多两年的监禁。然而，瑞典检察机关往往是在初步调查结束后，不会作出控罪。
瑞典皇家科学院常任秘书，贡纳尔（Gunnar Oquist）认为，这次的中国之行是不妥当的。
“我们应该十分谨慎，不要置身于使得诺贝尔委员会的工作可能被质疑的景况下，”他说，“我认为我们是应该想到这些问题的。”
诺贝尔奖一年一度的颁发，包括医学，物理，化学，文学，经济学与和平等奖项。2008年，有5名欧洲人，4名美国人和3名日本人获奖，他们在上周接受了颁奖。
STOCKHOLM, Sweden – Nobel Prize jurors who accepted all-expenses-paid trips to China to discuss the coveted awards are being investigated on suspicion of bribery, a Swedish prosecutor said Thursday.
Anti-corruptionprosecutor Nils-Erik Schultz said he opened the probe to determinewhether the trips in 2006 and 2008 were meant to influence thedecisions of the Nobel committees. He declined to name the jurors.
Theinvestigation was prompted by a Swedish Radio report that said threejurors from the medicine, chemistry and physics committees were invitedto China to explain the selection process and what it takes to win a Nobel Prize. Chinese authorities paid for their plane tickets, hotels and meals, the report said.
Ifcharged and convicted, the jurors would face fines or up to two yearsin prison. However, Swedish prosecutors often drop preliminaryinvestigations without pressing charges.
Gunnar Oquist, the permanent secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awards the Nobels in chemistry, physics and economics, acknowledged that the trips were inappropriate.
"Weshould be very careful not to put ourselves in a situation where theNobel committee's work can be called into question," he said. "I thinkwe should have thought about that here."
Theannual Nobel Prizes honor groundbreaking achievements in medicine,physics, chemistry, literature, economics and peace. Five Europeans,four Americans and three Japanese received the 2008 awards last week.
Thelast time China claimed a science price was in 1957, when two Chineseresearchers won the physics award, according to the Nobel Web site.
明报：諾獎評審涉受賄 被指接受中國資助
http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/081218/4/9t7a.htmlhttp://hk.l.yimg.com/hk.yimg.com/i/nws/partner/mp.gif(明報)12月19日 星期五 05:05
【明報專訊】法新社引述瑞典
特別檢察官稱，瑞典當局正就兩宗諾貝爾獎
評審委員會成員被指受賄的事件展開調查。第一宗涉及部分諾貝爾醫學、物理及化學獎的委員，他們被指接受中國政府資助，赴華訪問。第二宗涉及一家諾貝爾英國
與瑞典合資的藥廠，它擁有兩項與今年醫學獎得主研究成果有關的專利。
瑞典檢察官舒爾茨（Nils Erik Schultz）向法新社透露，正就上述兩宗事件展開初步調查。他表示，正審查參與中國之旅的委員的身分、開支、去過什麼地方等資料，並且會調查「中國為何邀請他們到中國，是不是認為這樣可以影響委員們（的決定）。」
部分評委1月獲邀訪華
舒爾茨指，調查目前並不針對任何特定人士。內地傳媒日前引述瑞典與美國
傳媒稱，部分諾獎評委今年1月應中國教育部邀請訪華，並在中國停留一周左右，費用由中方承擔。專家表示，這樣的訪問很常見，不可能影響評獎的公正性。2002年，8名諾貝爾獎評委亦曾在日本
政府資助下訪問日本。過去幾年並沒有中國公民獲得諾貝爾獎。
藥廠贊助 今屆醫學獎有嫌疑
第2宗懷疑受賄事件涉及英瑞兩國合資的AstraZeneca公司，該公司在今年較早時，和兩間與諾貝爾基金有密切關係的公司——Nobel Web和Nobel Media，簽署了贊助協議。今年諾貝爾醫學獎其中一半頒給德國
專家豪森（Harald zur Hausen），表揚他發現引致子宮頸癌
的人類乳頭狀瘤病毒。AstraZeneca在兩種對抗人類乳頭狀瘤病毒的疫苗上都取得專利。舒爾茨說，他正蒐集資料，看看到底AstraZeneca對醫學獎委員會選擇獲獎得主一事上有沒有任何影響。

Nobel Committee tarnished by bribery?
http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/world-news/nobel-committee-tarnished-by-bribery_100132657.htmlStockholm, Dec 18 (IANS) Swedish prosecutors have launched a preliminary investigation into possible bribery tarnishing the Nobel awards after revelations that members of three Swedish Nobel Committees received free trips to China from the Chinese government.Earlier in December, Sveriges Radio reported that members of the three Nobel Committees for natural science - medicine, physics, and chemistry - travelled to China at the invitation of Beijing to speak about what it takes to receive a Nobel Prize, according to The Local, an English daily in Sweden.
Public prosecutor Nils-Erik Schultz has decided to probe the matter more closely to determine whether any of the Nobel representatives who accepted the paid trips to China could be charged with bribery.
“As of now isn’t directed at any particular person, but at a set of procedures. In the first instance we need to focus on a few trip to China,” Schultz is quoted as telling Sveriges Radio.
The trips took place in March 2006 and January 2008 and the Chinese government paid for the flights, hotels, and meals. One trip included two Nobel Committee representatives, while three representatives took part in the second trip.
Even the representatives themselves acknowledge that taking the trips was a risky endeavour.
“It’s a borderline case, but we discussed it ahead of time, but it is borderline,” said Bertil Fredholm, who heads the Karolinska Institutet Nobel Committee - charged with picking the winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine.
Fredholm participated in one of the trips, but told Sveriges Radio he doubts that the trips would affect the impartiality of the committee in judging future Nobel nominees from China, The Local reported.
Sven Lidin of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, who also accepted a paid trip to China, expressed his doubts after the fact.
“Just the fact that you’re asking about this makes me think that it’s possible that it would have been a better idea to pay for it from Sweden,” he said.
Schultz’s investigation will determine whether or not to file bribery charges in the case.
“We have to figure out why someone decided that they wanted to pay for tickets and living expenses for these people; was there some thought that they would try to influence these people, who hold very important positions,” he said.
No Chinese citizen has won a Nobel Prize for the past three years.
Meanwhile, a second corruption case involves Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, which earlier this year signed a sponsor agreement with two Nobel companies with close ties to the Nobel Foundation: Nobel Web and Nobel Media.
Half of this year’s Nobel Medicine Prize went to Harald zur Hausen of Germany for his discovery of the human papilloma virus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer.
AstraZeneca receives royalties for the two available vaccines against HPV.
Schultz said he was gathering information on the case to determine whether the pharmaceutical company had any influence over the Medicine Prize committee’s choice of this year’s winners.
However, he has not yet decided to formally launch a preliminary investigation. 哈哈~~ 无聊;P
猪脑袋
瑞典政府的反腐败检察官尼尔斯，埃里克舒尔茨（Nils-Erik Schultz），猪脑袋一个。何为“邀请”？好好理解吧。 中国政府当局为他们支付了飞机票、旅馆和餐饮开支。不会是真的吧？？？
自从诺贝尔奖给了DL，对这个奖没好感。。。 没什么好奇怪的。 我觉得现在只要是与中国扯上关系的，西方就得批判一下，无聊！ 西方的两个凡是：
凡是说中国好的都是被中国政府收买的
凡是分裂中国制造混乱的都是和平战士
瑞典青年红十字会对中国搞十字军东征，并非偶然
瑞典青年红十字会辱华广告：西方人权十字军“东征”中国又一试？

自从诺贝尔奖给了DL，对这个奖没好感。。。
虽然是同一个人设立的奖项，
不过颁发诺贝尔科学类奖的是瑞典皇家科学院
颁发和平奖的是挪威诺贝尔委员会。
我一般是分开来看，这个奖项已经用行动证明它是儿戏，没资格和其它奖项相提并论Q23) 怎么苍蝇又嗡嗡叫了？ 有意思，很黄很暴力，懒得理他！ 呵呵，只有跟中国扯上关系的才算新闻了～～ 不就是跟我们处处作对么？小样，咱们还不稀罕呢！ 我们从来不拿奖，贿赂干什么啊 无中生有啊！
