Julian Assange wins at hide-and-seek game against Sweden

Slightly complicated...

Yes, he committed an offence of jumping bail.

BUT the charge for which he was on bail has been dropped, so in hindsight there was no reason for him to be on bail in the first place. So is it reasonable, fair and just (as opposed to legal) to continue to pursue him for something he wouldn't have done in the first place if things had moved faster, i.e. the Swedes had decided at the beginning that there didn't seem to be enough evidence?

Yes, he's a <insert insulting term here> but it does seem a tad unfair.
