So why didn't he go to Sweden?
Even if guilty and they can prove it, a Swedish jail is probably nicer than a US one and I doubt he would go down for longer for the alleged crimes in Sweden than for those in the US. What was it - sex without a condom? Versus the espionage in the US?
- sjwright 7y agoBecause there is a history of Sweden quietly allowing the US to perform extraordinary rendition there.
- myrryr 7y agoBecause he thought they would hand him to the us.
- rmtech 7y agoit's certainly possible. I guess we'll never know.
- belorn 7y agoWhen people are out to get you and you see irregular behavior from people in the government, what is a rational behavior? The case had gone through not one but two prosecutor, both which dropped the case. Rumors of US influence and a third prosecutor picks up the case. Could be nothing of course and just part of normal operation by the legal system. Just because people were out to get him doesn't mean he should had reacted paranoid about it.
