taxman Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 The US has put forward more trumped up charges in an effort to punish him for whistleblowing on their illegal activities. It will be interesting to see if the Swedish Government try and hold the high ground by demanding his extradition for rape or whether the whole thing was just a put up job to get him extradicted to the US.

geared Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Statute of limitations has already passed for those allegations so he won't ever be formally charged, they just remain as allegations and nothing more. His more immediate concern as the charges he faces in the USA, extradition now rolls onto the High Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) The charges were dropped because of the passage of time and investigation going cold. There was absolutely no discussion of so called "trumped up charges" Even the public prosecutor went on record to say that "...I would like to emphasise that the injured party has submitted a credible and reliable version of events. Her statements have been coherent, extensive and detailed; however, my overall assessment is that the evidential situation has been weakened to such an extent that that there is no longer any reason to continue the investigation..." One could argue that Assange's running and hiding act in the Ecudorian Embassay was a lucky move. He still proceeded to breach his bail conditions and now has had to face the consequences. Can we stop talking about this man as if he is some unfairly persecuted savior. He isnt. Edited January 4, 2021 by ECCOnoob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hardie Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Don't care much for Mr Assange but pleased that we've stood up to America. Until they send that woman back to face justice, we shouldn't extradite anybody to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
