In an exclusive interview , the lawyer of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has said that he had seen secret police documents that prove his client is innocent of accusations of non-use of condom during sex made against him by two Swedish women.
Bjorn Hurtig, who is representing Assange in Sweden, said the papers, which form part of the official Swedish investigation, reveal both women had 'hidden agendas' and lied about being coerced into having sex with his client, reports the Daily Mail. "From what I have read, it is clear that the women are lying and that they had an agenda when they went to the police, which had nothing to do with a crime having taken place," said Hurtig from his Stockholm office.
"It was, I believe, more about jealousy and disappointment on their part. I can prove that at least one of them had very big expectations for something to happen with Julian," he added.
Assange is currently lodged in a London jail while fighting extradition to face the accusations, which his defenders say are part of a plot to stop him releasing more embarrassing information on his website about governments worldwide.
