Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, has been added to Interpol's 'Wanted' list over alleged sex crimes in Sweden.
The international police organisation said the 39-year-old Australian was wanted over alleged sex crimes under an arrest warrant issued by the International Public Prosecution Office in Gothenburg.
The website of Interpol, the international police agency, said anyone with information on the Australian-born Assange should contact their national or local police.
Interpol issued a "red notice", which allows arrest warrants issued by national police authorities to be circulated to other countries to facilitate arrests and help possible extradition.
Interpol's involvement comes after the Swedish authorities issued their own international warrants last month.
Assange has been lying low since the former computer hacker's site began to release hundreds of thousands of US embassy documents from a secret location in London.
He has denied the Swedish allegations.
