WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has filed a criminal complaint in Sweden against the Nobel Foundation, opposing the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. Assange claims the award amounts to a gross misappropriation of funds under Swedish law and alleges the prize money could facilitate war crimes. He has sought to freeze 11 million Swedish kronor, calling the prize an “instrument of war.”
