The problem with that approach is that he expects be extradited to the US as soon as he gets to Sweden. Oh and you might call it nitpicking, but he's not convicted of rape yet, let alone charged with it.
- AndrewDucker 14y agoI still don't understand why Sweden is considered more likely to extradite to the US than Britain is...
- nhoj 14y agoI don't think many consider Sweden to be that. Maybe he is just trying to escape his accusations in Sweden?
- indiecore 14y agoNo, they've offered several times to allow Swedish officials to conduct whatever formalities they need to in the UK. They've refused. Sweden also has a history of dropping prisoners off at the airport where they get met by people who are DEFINITELY NOT CIA agents and disappeared.
- gsb 14y agoIn the UK an judge may make an independent determination that his 'crimes' are of a political nature and therefore not extraditable. In Sweden, there is a newish form of extradition, temporary surrender, where it is thought the decision can effectively be made by politicians instead of judges. Is he better off with a judge or a politician? Sweden has recent form for taking legal shortcuts in this area.
