Sweden Seeks to Interview Assange in London in June or July

 Sweden asked U.K. and Ecuadorian authorities to allow prosecutors to interview WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange at Ecuador’s embassy in London before a statute of limitations in the sexual-assault case runs out this year.

Sweden’s Director of Public Prosecution Marianne Ny submitted a request for assistance to U.K. authorities and a request to Ecuador for permission to interview Assange at its London embassy during June or July at a“time that would be suitable for all parties,” according to a statement Monday.
