Irregularities found in Assange rape case
London, February 09: A Swedish legal expert said yesterday there were serious irregularities in the way prosecutors built their sex crimes case against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Sven-Erik Alhem, a former chief prosecutor in Sweden, said prosecutor Marianne Ny “should have made sure Assange was able to give his version of events in detail.”
Assange’s lawyers say prosecutors have rebuffed his offer to be questioned from London about rape and sexual misconduct claims by two Swedish women. Assange denies wrongdoing.
