Not clear if Sweden might subsequently issue Euro Arrest Warrant. US extradition process still underway. My earlier overview of the legal issues: politics.co.uk/comment-analys…

Beware a false claim doing the rounds: "the Swedes dropped the case against Assange". No, it was discontinued only because he hid in the embassy, and was always liable to be reopened if/when he left: news.cision.com/aklagarmyndigh… Today's ruling doesn't end the (reopened) investigation.
Here's the EU law providing for the European Investigation Order, which will now be applied to question Assange: eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/…
Remains to be seen if he will challenge its application (there are grounds for non-execution in Art 11 of the law).
