Assange is extradited to Sweden

The UK Supreme Court rejected the appeal of the founder of Wikileaks Julian Assange to a decision on his extradition to Sweden, where he is accused of sexual crimes, the Air Force reports. Assange, for his part, denies all the accusations and previously called the European order to arrest him invalid and not legitimate.

The high court of Great Britain in 2011 has already approved Sweden's demand for the extraction of Assange, but its lawyers challenged this decision in the Supreme Court. In February 2012, they stated that the Swedish prosecutor who wrote out the warrant did not have the relevant authority.

The Swedish prosecutor's office intends to interrogate Assange on charges of rape and sexual harassment presented by Assange with two Swedes. Assange was arrested in the UK in December 2010. He repeatedly stated that he was connecting the pursuit with scandals around WikiLeaks. He called the accusations fabricated and "politically motivated." In mid -December, Assange was released on bail before considering the issue of extradition. The amount of the deposit amounted to 240 thousand pounds.
