The Wikileaks founder is allowed to walk free and return to Australia after being sentenced in a US court.

After a years-long legal saga, Wikileaks says that founder Julian Assange has left the UK after reaching a deal with US authorities that will see him plead guilty to criminal charges and go free.

Assange, 52, was charged with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information […]

Assange will spend no time in US custody and will receive credit for the time spent incarcerated in the UK.

[He] will return to Australia, according to a letter from the justice department.
