Risks extradition: Julian Assange
WASHINGTON’S bid to extradite Julian Assange has cost the British taxpayer more than £300,000 in court, prosecutor and prison fees.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), acting on behalf of the US Department of Justice, splashed out £151,000 on barristers alone as part of the case to extradite the Wikileaks founder.
In January a district judge ruled that Mr Assange could not be removed to the US on health grounds. The US is appealing against the decision.
