Re: Being a bit of a Devil's Advocate...
The Swedish prosecutors office don't seem to have said anything much yet. Other than, "we're looking at it". They've taken their own sweet time, whereas I'd have thought you just dust down the old files, remove the pages relating to the stuff that expired under the 5 years statute of limitations, Tippex out the dates and fax it back to Blighty for an arrest.
However I read a piece in the Guardian that was from a Swedish lawyer (of unknown bias) saying that it won't happen. One they can't just do the above, you have to re-consider if there's sufficient evidence to charge, now peoples' memories are 7 years old - plus he said that extradition law is first-come-first-served. So the US get first dibs on him, as they filed first. If true, then Sweden's statute of limitations would likely run out before they could try him.
On t'other hand, one of the women's lawyers was sounding off that he was going to sue the prosecutors, in order to make them pull their fingers out, and not let Assange get away with waiting out the charges.
Which is a long way of saying, "Dunno guv."
