Nils "Ebbe" Knut Carlsson (28 September 1947 – 3 August 1992 in Stockholm) was a Swedish journalist and publisher with connections within the Social Democratic leadership and the Cabinet of Sweden. He became infamous through the "Ebbe Carlsson affair," when he had got permission to investigate the assassination of Olof Palme.[1]
On 30 November 1991, he made public in an interview with Stina Dabrowski that he was HIV positive and was suffering from AIDS. He was one of the first famous Swedish people to make this public. Carlsson received medical treatment at the AIDS clinic of Huddinge Hospital during the last months of his life.
