Sexual Assault Investigation into Julian Assange to be Reopened, Swedish Prosecutor Says

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Swedish prosecutor Marie Persson indicated, Monday morning, that probable cause has been established in a rape case against WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange. Britain is faced with a choice of whether to extradite Assange to the Swedish or the Americans after serving his 50-week jail sentence for violating his bail conditions. The investigation into Assange was initially suspended in 2017; extradition was unlikely with his political asylum from Ecuador, where he stayed in an embassy in London.
