Stockholm School of Economics received several million from Jeffrey Epstein

The Stockholm School of Economics has received significantly more money than previously reported in connection with gifts from Jeffrey Epstein to the university.

The total amount is $420,000 up to and including 2014 - over five million kronor in today's value, reports Expressen. Previously it was stated to be around 1.5 million kronor.

The money has primarily gone to a scholarship for women founded by a Swedish businesswoman, with Epstein as a significant financier.

"We feel extremely saddened that young women have been introduced to a sex offender by someone they trusted and felt confident in," writes the School of Economics' head of communications, Hanna Flodmark, in an email to the newspaper.
