The charges are sealed and undisclosed. As the article [1] (linked by the article at the rolling stone) points out
> The prosecutor wrote that the charges and arrest warrant “would need to remain sealed until Assange is arrested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and can therefore no longer evade or avoid arrest and extradition in this matter.”
> At another point in the document, the prosecutor wrote that “due to the sophistication of the defendant and the publicity surrounding the case, no other procedure is likely to keep confidential the fact that Assange has been charged.”
meaning that they kept the charges closed and tried to hide their existence AND content until they have arrested him. So all of that is very much on purpose.
