A senior Swedish prosecutor is reopening a rape investigation against the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, the latest twist to a case in which prosecutors of different ranks have overruled each other.

The Australian has denied the allegations and said they are a smear campaign by opponents of WikiLeaks - a whistleblower website that has angered the US by publishing thousands of leaked documents about military activities in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The case was dismissed last week by the chief prosecutor, Eva Finne, who overruled a lower-ranked prosecutor and said there was no reason to suspect Mr Assange had raped a Swedish woman who had reported him to police.

The woman's lawyer appealed against the decision and yesterday the Director of Public Prosecutions, Marianne Ny, decided to reopen the case.

Ms Ny also said another complaint against Mr Assange should be investigated on suspicion of ''sexual coercion and sexual molestation''. That overruled a previous decision to investigate the case only as ''molestation'', which is not a sex offence under Swedish law.

Mr Assange is seeking Swedish work and residence permits.
