The key takeaway is not that they jailed him now. They should've and probably could have jailed him long ago.

My understanding is that he, a convicted pedophile and all around sociopath, seemingly totally bent on pursuing wildly antisocial endeavours, was protected up until now. He strategically contacted the FBI which was able to lean on the Icelandic law enforcement through a diplomatic route to grant him unofficial immunity, as long as he served the purpose of going after Assange.

Now that he admitted his testimony was based on lies, he is no longer useful and Iceland's law enforcement is finally free to do its job. He was jailed now because he betrayed his loyalty of his handlers. I wonder why he decided to break that, it seems like such a complete blunder. Perhaps he realised his testimony wouldn't hold up in court. Really wish the interview mentioned in the article would be translated to English but I can't find it.
