On what do you base this first claim? Because a little Google search on the subject of Swedish police and corruption turns up quite a number of (recent) hits.

Not to mention the legally dubious raids by the Swedish police on the hosters of the Piratebay, that seemed to have been bought and paid for by Hollywood.
By the way, is it normal police procedure in Sweden to tell the world's media that some dude is wanted for rape within a few hours of the accusation?
- Hagelin 16y agoIt was reported by the media after an arrest warrant was issued.
- JeanPierre 16y agoMy first claim was rather weak: It was just from my own knowledge and experience with Swedish police and the lack of news regarding corruption with them involved. If a Google search says otherwise, then I must have missed those corruption-cases. Sorry! > By the way, is it normal police procedure in Sweden to tell the world's media that some dude is wanted for rape within a few hours of the accusation? I would suppose that the media would sniff out as much information as fast as possible regarding Assange, because of his position. Also Expressen claimed certain things other media channels couldn't. E.g. all Norwegian newspapers cited Expressen.se for the information, and whenever they tried to get a confirmation from the Swedish police, they only got things such as "I can confirm that he is indicted. But since this is a delicate matter, I can not comment on the investigation beyond that."
