Tug of war
The last we heard from Julian Assange involved a year in jail in London on failure to appear charges and a pair of extradition hearings to determine if he could be shipped to the United States. That process was already estimated to last well into next year, but now another complication has arisen. After previously dropping rape charges against him, Sweden is reopening their case against Assange and may want to jump in line in front of us and have him extradited over there first. (CNN)
Sweden will reopen the investigation into an allegation of rape against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, the country’s deputy chief prosecutor announced on Monday.
Swedish Deputy Director of Public Prosecution Eva-Marie Persson revealed Sweden would resume proceedings at a press conference in the capital of Stockholm on Monday morning.
