The US indictment against Julian Assange alleges that the whistleblower engaged in “conspiracy” with US Army soldier Chelsea Manning in 2010, according to a statement from the US Department of Justice.
The statement said Assange is charged with conspiracy to commit computer intrusion and alleged attempts to break the password for a classified US government computer.
Assange will be "presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," but faces a maximum of five years in prison, if convicted, the statement said.
