(62,325 posts)and jailed, under the EAW issued by the Swedish Prosecutor. So she already had him arrested. In fact he was out on bail and could easily have been arrested any time and handed over to Sweden, and will be if he leaves the Embassy.
Have people really forgotten all of this?
This prosecutor has lied already when asked why she would not interview him in London, by claiming that Swedish law forbade it. There is no such law. Caught in that lie, they are now telling another one.
The facts are that she has consistently refused to speak to him, either in London or in Sweden where his lawyers were in daily contact with her attempting to set up an interview which she refused to do, then gave her consent for him to leave and on the same day that he finally left, as if she was waiting for him to leave, she issued the EAW for his arrest.
So I don't understand why anyone would say 'he can't be arrested' when he was out on bail after the Swedish Prosecutor had him arrested. It is ludicrous and can only be stated by someone who is blind to the fact that he is and has been subject to arrest under the Swedish prosecutor's own warrant for the entire time he has been in Britain.
There are several reasons why people believe he has not been charged, and the main one is that much of the evidence for this case is very damaging to the Prosecution. Although the defense has seen it, the prosecution has refused to give them copies, but as soon as charges are filed, they must hand it over. They do not want to do that.
Immediately it will be all over the media, exposing this entire sham for the witch hunt it is. Text messages between the two women showing them plotting all of this, including 'making money from it' by going to the tabloids among other things. Which we saw way back in the beginning before the women began scrubbing their sites.
I doubt there was ever going to be charges filed, and so does anyone who has followed it, read all the documents, saw the witness testimony transcripts and especially anyone who was watching the women's own texts and then erasures and remembered what was in them in real time.
