ASSANGE CASE: SWEDEN DROPS RAPE INVESTIGATION
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM
19 MAY, 2017
Sweden's top prosecutor says she is dropping the investigation into a rape claim against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange after almost seven years.
The Swedish Prosecution Authority said in a statement Friday that it "has decided to discontinue the investigation."
Assange took refuge in Ecuador's embassy in London in 2012 to escape extradition to Sweden. He has been there ever since, fearing that if he is arrested he might ultimately be extradited to the United States.
Friday's announcement means Assange is no longer under any investigation in Sweden. British police said before the announcement that Assange is still wanted in Britain for jumping bail. It is not clear if that may change now that the investigation has been dropped.
