CPS admits it deleted key emails linked to Assange
THE Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has admitted destroying key emails relating to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Potentially sensitive and revealing information exchanged between the CPS and Swedish prosecutors was deleted after the retirement of a CPS lawyer in 2014.
The revelation comes ahead of an information tribunal hearing in London next week, pressing the CPS to release more information.
