WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has filed a sweeping criminal complaint in Sweden accusing 30 Nobel Foundation officials of misappropriation, facilitating war crimes, and turning the Peace Prize into what he calls “an instrument of war.”

Assange is asking Swedish authorities to immediately freeze the 11 million SEK prize money before its transfer to Machado. The complaint says Nobel administrators breached their fiduciary duty by approving a payout to a figure who has openly advocated foreign military intervention.

️ Assange cites statements in which Machado supports US military escalation around Venezuela and endorses strikes that would kill civilians. Nobel officials, he argues, “converted an instrument of peace into an instrument of war.”

        Then you sounds have cited those actual sources. Also obviously the footnotes don’t work in quotes. You seriously just included a bunch of random numbers in your quote and are now acting like that makes it more credible.

          I provided the link to the Wikipedia that has the sources. I’m not obligated to do anything for you.
