558Selon The Independent, qui en a le premier signalé la possibilité, Julian Assange, le fondateur de Wikileaks, serait sur le point d’être arrêté au Royaume-Uni, à partir de la requête lancée par la Suède pour des accusations de viol. Dans un article du 3 décembre 2010, le quotidien britannique détaille les conditions et les diverses circonstances de ce qu’il annonce être la très prochaine arrestation d’Assange.
»Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, is expected to be arrested in the coming days after Swedish prosecutors filed a new warrant with British authorities.
»The Independent revealed yesterday that a procedural error with the European Arrest Warrant had delayed the arrest of the 39-year-old Australian, who is wanted in Sweden over sexual allegations but has been in England since October.
»Police in Gothenburg claim they have now submitted a fresh warrant to the Serious Organised Crime Agency. Soca is expected to instruct Scotland Yard to arrest Mr Assange and have him appear before an extradition hearing – although as of last night the Metropolitan Police had yet to receive the warrant.
»Police sources have previously said that they received a letter from Mr Assange's UK-based lawyer, Mark Stephens, containing information about how to contact Mr Assange should they need to.
»Details of the new arrest warrant came as a last-ditch attempt to have the allegations against Mr Assange dropped failed. Sweden's highest court upheld the arrest order and refused to let him appeal against a lower court's ruling.
»Last night, Mr Assange's family spoke of their fears for his safety after increasingly shrill statements from American commentators who have called for his assassination. His mother, Christine Assange, said “the forces that he's challenging are too big”.»
