Sweden’s chief prosecutor has questioned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange about a rape allegation at the Ecuadorean embassy in London.
He denies the allegation that he raped a Swedish woman in 2010.
Swedish prosecutor Ingrid Isgren listened as an Ecuadorean prosecutor put the questions to Mr Assange.
He took refuge in the embassy four years ago, fearing extradition. He says the sex was consensual and believes the allegations are politically motivated.
Mr Assange is accused of raping a woman, named in legal papers as SW, at her home in August 2010.
Swedish prosecutors dropped part of their investigation last year because of a statute of limitations.
