"Secret US indictment against WikiLeaks founder, Assange"

The United States allegedly prepared an indictment against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. This is clear from the accidentally revealed court documents in which Assagne is casually mentioned, according to The Washington Post of Friday. The charges laid are not clear.

Assange, born in Australia, has been hiding for six years at the Embassy of Ecuador in London. He escaped to escape extradition to Sweden. There, he was suspected of attacking two Swedes. According to the founder of Wikileaks, the Scandinavian country should then extradite it to the United States.

At the end of July, it was announced that President Moreno of Ecuador would work on an agreement with the United Kingdom to return Assange from the embassy.
