Credit: Reuters/Valentin Flauraud By Stefano Ambrogi and Patrick Lannin LONDON/STOCKHOLM | Thu Dec 2, 2010 3:32pm EST LONDON/STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - The lawyer acting for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange denied on Thursday that Sweden had issued a valid European arrest warrant for alleged sex crimes, despite Stockholm's insistence that legal difficulties with the warrant were resolved. Swedish police earlier said technical problems hindering the arrest of the 39-year-old Australian had been ironed out, and a newspaper report said he was in Britain. But in an interview with Reuters, his London lawyer Mark Stephens, who would not divulge his whereabouts because of death threats against him, said no warrant valid under Swedish, European or international law had been issued. "There is no arrest warrant against him. There was an Interpol red notice, which is not a warrant, alerting authorities to monitor his movements," Stephens told Reuters. "The arrest warrant was sent back by Scotland Yard (London police headquarters) because it did not comply with the law and was defective." Assange spends much of his time in Sweden, and earlier this year was accused of sexual misconduct by two Swedish women. Swedish prosecutors opened, then dropped, then re-opened an investigation into the allegations. Sweden has authorized a warrant for his arrest on suspicion of sexual misconduct. But Assange has not been formally charged with any crime in Sweden. Stephens also told Reuters his client had not been informed of the allegations or shown any evidence against him. He said his client would be happy to meet Swedish prosecutors but they had not wanted to meet him. "We are in this position where we have never been told what the allegations are against him, we do know that he hasn't been charged, we do know that he has only been asked for as a witness," he said. The Independent newspaper said Assange had arrived in Britain in October, and had given police his contact details. It cited police sources who said they knew where Assange was staying. He is believed to be in southeast England, it said. TECHNICAL PROBLEMS In Sweden, Assange's efforts to have an arrest order quashed met defeat when the High Court declined to hear the case. "The High Court has not granted a leave to appeal, so the Svea Court of Appeals ruling still stands," High Court official Kerstin Norman told Reuters. The Svea Court of Appeals is one of six courts of appeal and covers the Stockholm area. The Independent, citing unnamed sources, said Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) needed clarification about the European Arrest Warrant issued by Swedish prosecutors before British police could arrest Assange. The Metropolitan Police and Soca declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. 1 2 Next U.S. WikiLeaks World We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
