CPS admits it deleted key emails linked to 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.
