Julian Assange is set to be quizzed by Swedish police over sexual assault allegations four years after entering the Ecuadorean embassy under political asylum.

The Wikileaks founder has been protected from repeated requests by the Swedish prosecutor to question him about an alleged 2010 sex attack, which he denies.

But a possible breakthrough to the impasse over his case has been revealed by the Ecuadorian attorney general who has delivered a document of agreement.

Mr Assange believes he will be taken to the United States to be quizzed over the activities of WikiLeaks if he goes to Sweden for the questioning.

The 45-year-old has offered to be questioned inside the embassy but the Swedish prosecutors only recently agreed.

A statement issued in Ecuador said: "In the coming weeks a date will be established for the proceedings to be held at the Embassy of Ecuador in the United Kingdom.
