Director of Public Prosecution Ms Marianne Ny has decided
on the request for review in the Assange matter.The investigation
concerning rape will be reopened.There is reason to believe that a crime
has been committed. Considering information available at present, my judgement
is that the classification of the crime is rape. The basis for further
considerations is not sufficient at the moment. More investigations
are neccessary before a final decision can be made.The investigation concerning
molestation will be extended to include all allegations in the original
police report.
- There is reason to believe that a crime has been committed.
Based on the information available, the crimes in question come under the
heading of sexual coercion and sexual molestation, respectively.Director
of Public Prosecution Marianne Ny will be leading the further investigations.
She will be assisted by Deputy Chief Prosecutor Ms Erika Lejnefors.
- Due to the investigation and the persons involved
in the matter, I cannot give more information concerning details in the
investigation.
