Julian Assange, the founder of the WikiLeaks website, has been interrogated by the Swedish police. His lawyer says he is accused of sexual assault although he fully expects the charges to be dropped. Leif Silbersky, one of Sweden's top defence lawyers, said police had questioned his client in his presence for about an hour on Monday evening and that the interrogation "went very well. I expect the prosecutor will drop the whole thing." A duty prosecutor issued an arrest warrant on the evening of Friday 20 August in connection with an allegation of rape, but chief prosecutor Eva Finne abruptly withdrew it the next day saying new information had come to light.
