A top Swedish prosecutor decided on Wednesday to reopen a probe into rape suspicions against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. WikiLeaks' Assange interrogated by police (31 Aug 10) Julian Assange applies for Swedish residency (31 Aug 10) Lawyer appeals decision on Assange case (27 Aug 10) Assange: charges caused 'enormous' damage (26 Aug 10) "There is reason to believe that a crime has been committed. Considering information available at present, my judgement is that the classification of the crime is rape," director of prosecutions Marianne Ny said in a statement. "The basis for further considerations is not sufficient at the moment. More investigations are necessary before a final decision can be made (concerning possible charges)," she added. A Swedish duty prosecutor issued an arrest warrant for Assange on August 20th over rape allegations. But chief prosecutor Eva Finne abruptly withdrew it the next day, saying new information had come to light.
