Sweden has dropped a rape investigation into WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, the Swedish prosecutor's office announced on Friday.
"The investigation against Julian Assange is discontinued," according to a statement issued by Sweden's director of public prosecution, Marianne Ny.
Chief prosecutor Ingrid Isgren and Ny explained their decision to end the preliminary investigation and lift the arrest warrant at a press conference Friday, saying there's no possibility of arresting Assange in the foreseeable future. However, the prosecutors said the case "could be reopened if Assange returns to Sweden before the statute of limitations ends in 2020."
