Best news of today......

........strange way for the Government to "bury bad news" though.

Was it not the great Bard Windsor Davies who said 'Oh dear, how sad, never mind'?

The Met were invited in by the Ecuadorian Ambassador, good, about time this was sorted out!

The MET should have gone in years ago to put a stop to what was a massive abuse of consular premises.

I guess the Ecuadorian government decided that him living with them was even worse than whatever dirt Wikileaks has on them, then?

Mr Burns when he went all "Howard Hughes". Julian was probably muttering things about escaping on the Spruce Moose or something so the Ecuadorians called the cops before he went out a window.

Just heard we won’t extradite him to the US? Any truth to that?

In so far as we are extraditing him to Sweden yes. What they do with him is up to them I guess!

Stupid arrogant little fecker.

What a huge waste of time and money

They’ve found Ben Gunn from Treasure Island!

Hasn’t the Swedish case been dropped? This arrest is because he broke bail conditionals relating to the Swedish case. But Swedish prosecutors are no longer pursuing that case.

We have said consistently, right from the outset that we won't. We can't in any event as Sweden has an application in already and the yanks haven't even made one.

His complaint was that he should not be extradited to Sweden because they will give him to the Yanks who will execute him. That is a massive load of bks because Human Rights law prevents us extraditing him anywhere where he could face the death penalty and, as he had come from here, Sweden would need permission from us to extradite him anywhere else in any event.

It was all just so much bks purely because he doesn't want to go to Sweden to face rape charges. He's really fked him self as even if he was convicted in Sweden it's one of the softest places in the World (certainly Europe) for sex crimes so he would have done minimal jail time, if any. As it is his narcissistic, arrogant personality disorder has cost him years of his life.

They have said they will look into re-opening it and getting him sent there. Which should happen IMO!

He looks ill.

Definitely!

I'm not sure that it was all dropped though. I think one was because it was out of time but not sure about the other.

I don't know how Swedish law works but a time limit on prosecution where the alleged perpetrator knows of the investigation and is intentionally avoiding being questioned and has even gone to the extent of breaking the law (all be it in a different country) to avoid it, is just wrong on so many levels. It reduces the criminal justice system to a game of Dare.
