Swedish authorities are ending their investigation into an allegation of rape against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, the country's deputy chief prosecutor has announced.
Deputy director of public prosecution Eva-Marie Persson made the announcement at a news conference in Stockholm on Tuesday.
The investigation into Assange was reopened in May following his dramatic removal from Ecuador's embassy in central London the previous month. Swedish authorities had previously suspended the probe in 2017.
According to the Swedish prosecutor's office, a total of seven witness interviews were conducted as part of the investigation into Assange over the summer. (CNN)
