In an extensive interview that Australian online journalist and broadcaster, WikiLeaks founder Julian Paul Assange gave to Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and that went into just published by the Indian publishing company Navayana Assanges book, When Google Met WikiLeaks, Assange mentioned the history of the police raid on a Swedish ISP of Kavkaz Center. <\/p>\n
In a passage from the book, published in the Indian portal Scroll titled \"Julian Assange on WikiLeaks mission: preserving content that is under attack\", Assange said in particular: <\/p>\n
\"PRQ had, other than WikiLeaks, the American Homeowners Association, which had to flee from property developers in the United States; the Kavkaz Center, a Caucasus news center which is constantly under attack by the Russians. <\/p>\n
In fact PRQ was raided several times by the Swedish government after leverage from the Russian government\". <\/p>\n
It is to be recalled that the Swedish Prosecution twice confiscated servers of KC, but then by the court it was forced to return them and even once paid KC a fine of 1250. <\/p>\n
Raids on the PRQ and confiscation of servers of KC was explained by Swedish Prosecution pointing out to the requests of the government of Russia. Direct order of confiscation of servers of Kavkaz Center was issued by the so-called international prosecutor in Stockholm Hakan Roswall. He said in May 2006 after a raid on the provider of KC: <\/p>\n
- \"The reason for the confiscation was the official statement of the Russian embassy in Sweden, which accused the news agency Kavkaz Center of incitement to violence\". <\/p>\n
