It was learned by a painful mistake that the United States had secretly filed a lawsuit against Julian Assange. The leader of Wikileaks is in the line of sight of the authorities because of the publication of secret files and his collaboration with Russia.

The US judicial authorities have filed or at least prepared an indictment against the Wikileaks disclosure platform leader, Julian Assange. It is possible from court records that were inadvertently filed in court in August and were accidentally revealed on Friday night. Thus, the Virginia Attorney's Office inadvertently confused the records of two cases. In fact, Assange intended them to secret documents by transmitting them with a completely different contribution to the competent court. The slip was discovered by a scientist working in Washington and posted via Twitter fact – with a wink: The study of court documents is cheaper than a newspaper subscription, said the Justicesxperte.
Unknown costs
The circumstances of the revelation are bizarre, but the context of the criminal case is serious: the US judicial system is targeting the Australian national Assange, as he has published hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables and secret files of wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq via his program. These documents had been disclosed to Wikileaks by US soldier Bradley Manning (now known as Chelsey Manning).
In addition, two years ago, during the presidential campaign in the United States, the disclosure platform had published stolen e-mails from the Democratic Party. According to the findings of the US justice, these documents were captured by hackers of the Russian military service GRU, then forwarded to Wikileaks. Assange, a declared opponent of the Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, was therefore harnessed by Moscow and provided indirect badistance to President Donald Trump. However, it does not appear from the files disclosed concrete charges against Assange.
Carefully copied
It is not surprising that a secret "sous caché" indictment of Assange can be published. Such an approach is common in the United States in cases where the accused is abroad and should receive no warning regarding impending arrest. The petition wrongly published in court also indicates that the charges and the related arrest warrant must be kept under lock and key until Assange is in custody and can not escape arrest or extradition. . From this wording, however, it is not clear whether the indictment was actually raised. It is also possible that the accidentally discovered document is only a rough draft.
The federal prosecutor's office in Alexandria, a suburb of Washington, is responsible for the Assange case. But this also leads the totally independent investigation into Seitu Kokayi, an alleged bad offender. The result was a bureaucratic confusion: on the first page of the court, the prosecutor's office asked not to divulge the proceedings against Kokayi. On the second page, the argument then changes abruptly and the speech is only pronounced by Assange, thus underlining the preponderant place of his case. The conclusion is that the magistrates wanted to simplify the justification in the Kokayi case and took into account in their contributions the previous discussions on the Assange case. However, they forget to make the necessary textual adjustments. A spokesman for the prosecution tacitly confirmed that an error had been made and that the entry contained a false name.
Assange is still stuck
Assange himself expressed fear, several years ago, of facing a lawsuit in the United States for treason. In 2012, he fled to the Embbady of Ecuador in London after the issuance of a European arrest warrant against him for badual offenses in Sweden. The Australian claimed that after his transfer to Swedish justice, he had to wait for extradition to the United States.
This reasoning has not become more plausible as a result of the revelation of the alleged indictment in the United States. Britain would also have had the opportunity to extradite Assange to the United States if Washington had asked for it. The flight of Assange to the Embbady of Ecuador appears mainly as a maneuver to avoid a conviction for badual offenses in Sweden. The procedure is suspended due to partial limitation. But Assange prefers to remain under the protection of the Ecuadorian embbady as he faces a penalty for breaching the British bail.
