The move means Swedish prosecutors are likely to request the extradition of Assange, who is already fighting a request from the US.
Swedish prosecutors have reopened their investigation into allegations of rape against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
The move means Swedish prosecutors are likely to request the extradition of Assange from the UK, where he is serving a 50-week prison sentence for skipping bail. UK authorities will have to decide which extradition request to prioritise if Sweden, too, issues a request. A case of alleged sexual misconduct against Assange, for which charges were filed in 2010, was dropped when the statute of limitations expired in 2017. However, there remains a rape allegation, which was on hold while Assange was inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
