Swedish Text:
Beslut av chefsåklagare Eva Finné. I ärendet föreligger två anmälningar från två olika kvinnor. Anmälan nr 1 rubricerades från början som våldtäkt och anmälan nr 2 som ofredande. Anmälan nr 1 K246314-10 De uppgifter som framkommit vid förhör med målsägaren är, som tidigare meddelats, sådana att misstanke om våldtäkt inte längre föreligger. Detta innebär inte att jag inte fäster tilltro till hennes uppgifter. Jag har studerat innehållet i förhöret för att se om misstanke om annat brott kan anses föreligga, i första hand ofredande eller sexuellt ofredande, men finner vid min analys att så inte är fallet. Förundersökningen läggs därför ned vad avser denna anmälan eftersom det inte föreligger misstanke om brott. Anmälan nr 2 K246336-10 Misstanken om ofredande kvarstår. Jag kommer att ge direktiv till utredaren att höra den misstänkte.

"To question" is a neutral term. "Interrogate" has harsh semantic clusters.

Apparently, then, the prosecutor has an active role during the investigation?
- Jake If you only spend 20 minutes of the rest of your life on economics, go spend them here.
Chefsåklagaren har givit utredare i uppdrag att förhöra Assange med anledning av misstanken om ofredande. - Det får utredaren och Leif Silbersky komma överens om när det ska ske, säger Finné till Aftonbladet. Den första misstanken, som till en början rubricerades som våldtäkt, avskrevs redan i lördags. Finné har nu även avskrivit misstanken om sexuellt ofredande i det fallet. Finné förklarar att det inte innebär att hon misstror kvinnan.

Bing translator (emphasis added):
The Chief Prosecutor has given investigators to interrogate Assange by reason of the suspicion of harassment. - It is the investigator and Leif Silbersky agree on when it will happen, "says Finné to Aftonbladet. The first suspicion, as initially as rape, was removed from the register rubricerades already on Saturday. Finné has now also written off suspicion of sexual harassment in the case. Finné declares that it does not mean that she distrusts the woman.

What's left of this clumsy smear job?
Whatever becomes of the allegation, "Eyewitness testimony by two witnesses, apparently independent witnesses, saying roughly the same thing about Assange's actions is strong evidence." fairleft
How many African-Americans have ended up on Death Row thanks to that kind of justice?
And, in this case, the immediately-offered media stories have changed so often and so quickly (despite being apparently circumstantiated by details such as the condom which are no longer being spoken of), that the notion of a put-up job is an extremely possible one too.
One of the two women, an expert on the law on sexual offences through her work, sought out contact with Assange (who she did not know) before he arrived in Sweden. This is evidenced in cached tweets that she sent at the time, now removed - presumably by herself. For instance she heard that Assange would be attending a private crayfish party and sought to get an invitation to it.
To actively seek out contact with someone, and then to engineer an accusation against them says only one thing to me. I say engineer, because there was never a direct accusation made by the woman, but it was reported to the police in such a way that they would have to act.
The cause of the desire for 'revenge' is murkier. But there are several scenarios that do not involve the CIA, the Pentagon or any other sinister organizations. You can't be me, I'm taken

The more the evidence rolls in the more it looks like a classic "Honey Trap."
O/T, BTW:
Hope you're anchoring the shelving properly. Remember they will have to hold 10,000 books when the ET Refuges move in.

One's conclusions depends on one's paranoia index?
And how allergic one is to tinfoil.
Me, I'm perfectly willing to ascribe mendaciousness to the police and the press - but I find coordination with the Americans hard to believe. For one thing, it's not necessary. Every back-scratching little wannabe-Quisling on the continent knows that Assange is a high-profile pain in the US' ass. For another thing, you can't keep that sort of operation a secret in Sweden... as the MPAA learned to their misfortune when they went after TPB.
This kind of thing needs a couple of people talking to a couple of people in the right place(s).
We're not going to know who, what, when,and why for a couple of months ... if ever.
It also depends on the credibility of the witnesses in question. But the credibility of the witnesses is a matter for the courts of law to decide, not for the courts of public opinion.
Anyway, 2 witnesses against 1 would not have been helpful to Assange, but now things may get down, according to shaky press reports, to one woman's word against his. fairleft
WikiLeaks founder cleared of sex allegations By MALIN RISING STOCKHOLM WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange no longer faces sex abuse charges in Sweden after a prosecutor decided Wednesday to investigate only one of two complaints against him, and not as a sexual offense. Assange -- who has denied both accusations -- is still suspected of molesting a woman on Aug. 13, but molestation is not a sex crime under Swedish law, said Karin Rosander, a spokeswoman for the Swedish Prosecution Authority. It covers a wide range of offenses, including reckless conduct or inappropriate physical contact with another adult, and can result in fines or up to one year in prison. . . .
