LONDON—Prosecutors concluded a two-day interview with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Tuesday as part of an inquiry to determine whether to charge him with a possible sex crime dating back six years.
No decision on a possible prosecution was made public after the questioning and prosecutors didn’t comment on the substance of the interview, which took place at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London where Assange sought refuge more than four years ago.
Ecuadorean prosecutors asked the questions of Assange in the presence of a Swedish prosecutor and police investigator.
Prosecutors are focusing on an allegation of possible rape dating back to an incident in Sweden in 2010. Assange hasn’t been indicted and denies wrongdoing.
