The Swedish government has dropped their charges, so they no longer apply.
Now though he’s wanted by British police for avoiding arrest, which is a different felony.
That puts him under the control of the UK government, which are very likely to agree to any extradition requests the US may send.
- dagw 8y agoThe Swedish government has dropped their charges, so they no longer apply. They haven't completely dropped the charges. They've dropped the investigation, canceled the arrest warrant and aren't seeking extradition. But if he visits Sweden before the statute of limitations runs out then he can technically still be brought in for questioning and the investigation can be re-opened.
- ineedasername 8y agoEh, maybe they'd extradite, but their good faith towards the US has been rather strained lately so I wouldn't look at it as a certainty.
