STOCKHOLM, April 11. /TASS/. There is a significant risk of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange being extradited to the United States, Assange’s Swedish Defense Attorney Per Samuelsson told the SVT TV channel.

"Naturally, I believe this is totally inadmissible," he said. "We see clear signs indicating that the Americans want to convict him or have convicted him. Let’s see whether or not his concern was justified or exaggerated."

"There can be a secret extradition request from the Americans or it can be received now. We will find out within the next few days. To date, the US has been able to play its cards secretly, but it will not be able to do that any more," he added.
