WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange remained a fugitive Wednesday, shadowed by a Europe-wide arrest warrant on Swedish rape charges. A German security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because no authorization was given to discuss the legal steps, confirmed that a warrant for Assange had been issued in that country.
Assange’s London-based lawyer, Mark Stephens, complained his client had yet to receive formal notice of the allegations he faces — something Stephens described as a legal requirement under European law. The lawyer added that Assange had repeatedly offered to answer questions about the investigation, to no avail.
