Top EU official tells Julian Assange: 'Just go to Sweden and answer the questions'

81. How charming, you post on DU, a US Democratic Political site and accuse Americans of

'expecting the whole world to operate the way the way the US does'. This is a DEMOCRATIC site. You are confused. FR is where you find that that attitude. Unbelievable.

'America centric'. Hmm, so you reveal your disdain for Americans. Not that I much care, it was always apparent to people here. It's better out in the open, so I thank you for that. I will keep it in mind always when I see your comments.

Now back to reality. Just why did you link to that post? There is nothing there except an OPINION. and it is a WRONG opinion. It is clearly another person who does not understand Swedish Law and how it operates.

Americans, despite your obvious disdain for them, ARE capable of reading and understanding AND respecting the laws of other countries. Especially Democratic Americans. So let me help you understand Swedish Law, how it operates and how the Swedish Prosecutor lied about it in order to avoid taking the final step that would allow her to file charges against Assange.

Swedish law requires that before filing charges of a crime, the Prosecutor must interview the accused.

Sweden is a member of the EU. The EU has an agreement with member states that all states will cooperate in legal matters such as this, by facilitating eg, interviews with accused who may be in their countries.

Assange was in Sweden, made himself available for that required interview, the Prosecutor declined his offers several times, she then informed his attorney he was free to leave. When he was told she had contacted his attorney, who did not inform him, that she was ready for an interview (way, way late and against procedure in sex cases btw) he offered to return to Sweden. She declined.

His attorneys assured her he was available at any time to speak to her. She then began the lies. She claimed, falsely, that she could not interview him in London. THAT was a LIE. See above. Sweden has done this before, it is pretty common.

For two years now she has refused to interview him. He has always been available.

Their is NO legal impediment to her doing this. There is however a reason why she refuses to do so. But it is not Swedish law that has prevented her from taking that final step. Nothing.

But the minute she does, she then must present her case, which pretty much fell apart long ago which is generally known around the world. She does not wish to present her case and neither does the attorney who initiated it who admits they have a 'very weak case if any'.

I hope that clears up your understanding of Swedish Law. You should not allow your stated disdain for Americans stop you from learning how Swedish law works. I went to the trouble of studying how it works and have shared that information with you, who apparently never bothered.

Looks like it's the Swedish Prosecutor who does not understand Swedish law after all.
