(62,325 posts)That report shows that Assange's attorney had contacted the prosecutor on Sept. 15 again, to try to set up an appointment. She told him she could not conduct an interview because the cop she wanted was sick. Were there no other cops in Sweden?
She also told him on the 15th that his client was free to leave Sweden.
She finally got around to contacting the attorney on Sept 22. THREE WEEKS too late, as many legal experts have stated.
Assange's attorney did not get in touch with his client until Sept 29 after he had left Sweden.
So, there was no scheduled interview that Assange knew of when he left Sweden on the 27th after being told he was free to leave.
He was only two hours away. Like going from NYC to upstate NY after work. He didn't go to China.
Assange then offered to return to Sweden on Oct 9 for the interview.
The prosecutor refused.
And the games had begun.
On 15th September Ms Ny told him there were no force measures preventing Julian leaving the country, i.e. he was allowed to leave. He asked when his client would be interrogated but was told the officer she needed for the investigation was sick. He phoned his client to say he was free to leave the country to continue his work. His
client was worried that he may be difficult to get hold of, so they agreed that when he had found a stable place he would contact his lawyer.
On 22nd September he received a text message from Marianne Ny saying that she
wanted to interrogate Julian Assange on 28th September. I could not get hold of Julian, which I told Marianne on 27th September.
So, Assange was never told of any scheduled appointment. sabrina
He was able to speak to his client on 29th September and Mr Assange offered to return on Saturday 9th October for interrogation. Eventually this proposal was not accepted as the dates were too far away.
As the well known Swedish legal expert, Sven-Eric Alhem, testified in that report, even if the prosecutor contacted the attorney on Sept 22, it was wrong for her to have waited so long and she should have interviewed him London immediately after that anyhow.
There was no scheduled appointment on Sept 28, because the attorney was unable to reach his client until the 29th.
The crossed wires between the Prosecutor and the Attorney are not the fault of the client. It happens, it was no big deal. It could have been rearranged, but the Prosecutor refused to do so.
