The founder of the WikiLeaks website, Julian Assange, could face charges if he returns to his native Australia, officials in Canberra stated on Monday.
After što WikiLeaks began publishing 251.287 confidential documents from the U.S. State Department, Australian Attorney General Robert McClelland said that Australian citizen Assange would not be offered asylum.»From Australia’s perspective, I think there are potentially a number of laws that may have been breached«, he said. »The Australian Federal Police is investigating this«. The government formed a task force in July to monitor the repercussions of the document release on WikiLeaks. Assange is believed to be in the United Kingdom. (hrt.hr)
