Swedish prosecutors announced the decision to drop the sex offences investigation against Julian Assange this morning.
Director of Public Prosecutions Marianne Ny said she had decided to “discontinue” the investigation into an alleged sex offence, although it is unlikely to lead to Mr Assange immediately leaving the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
The Wikileaks founder has claimed asylum in Ecuador’s London embassy for almost five years.
Giving a clenched fist salute to his supporters, and scores of journalists and TV crews, Mr Assange maintained a “legal conflict” with the United States and the UK continues.
Mr Assange believes he faces extradition to the United States for questioning over the activities of WikiLeaks if he leaves the embassy.
Scotland Yard says it is obliged to execute a warrant issued by Westminster Magistrates’ Court for the arrest of Mr Assange following his failure to surrender to the court in June 2012, should he leave the embassy.
Mr Assange said: “The road is far from over, the war, the proper war is commencing and the UK has said it will arrest me regardless.”
Speaking on the embassy balcony, Mr Assange branded the news a victory before attacking the EU saying “detention and extradition without charge has become a feature of the EU.
