Australian Federal Police says Assange committed no crime in Australia

Neither WikiLeaks not its founder Julian Assange has committed any crime in Australia over the leaking of official United States government documents, the Australian Federal Police announced.

A statement released by the federal police said: "The AFP has completed its evaluation of the material available and has not established the existence of any criminal offences where Australia would have jurisdiction.”

"Where additional cables are published and criminal offences are suspected, these matters should be referred to the AFP for evaluation," the statement declared, theage.com.au reported.
