Sweden was actually like "our law requires us to consider extradition requests on their own merits."
I don't know if he knew that or not, but it's kinda weird he didn't flea to the embassy until his extradition to Sweden was imminent. The UK could've arrested him for extradition to the US any day he was out on bail.
