| Subject: Smear campaign is over - WikiLeaks founder not suspected of rape: prosecutors Sat Aug 21, 2010 8:06 pm | |
| Swedish prosecutors said yesterday that the founder of controversial whistleblower website WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, was not suspected of rape in Sweden and was no longer wanted for questioning.
"Chief prosecutor Eva Finne has come to the decision that Julian Assange is not suspected of rape," said a statement on the prosecution service's website.
Assange was "no longer wanted," the statement said, adding that Finne would make no other comments.
The prosecution service referred a telephone inquiry from AFP to the website.
A prosecution service spokesperson, Karin Rosander, said earlier that "Julian Assange is wanted for two different issues, one of them is that he's suspected of rape in Sweden."
