Regardless of whether the case by the Swedish authorities is dropped, he still faces prosecution by the UK now for the breach of bail conditions - distinct offence in UK law with severe penalties regardless of the state of the original reason for being placed on bail.

Many people end up in prison on the UK for breach of bail despite being aquitted in court of the original charge they faced and it is naive to think that any hypothetical dropping of charges by Sweden is either the end of the matter or the end of the risk of a one-way ticket to the US.
