Swedish prosecutors are dropping a rape investigation against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
Assange has been living inside the Ecuadorean embassy in London since 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden.

However, it is unclear how this development will affect Assange’s possible extradition to the US for leaking military and diplomatic documents.
