WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will be interrogated in Ecuador's embassy in the UK on October, Reuters reported.

Swedish prosecutors said the questioning will be conducted by an Ecuadorian prosecutor.

Swedish chief prosecutor Ingrid Isgren and a police investigator will be allowed to be present to ask questions through the Ecuadorian prosecutor, who will later report the findings to Sweden.

Swedish authorities want to question Assange, 45, over allegations that he committed rape in 2010. Assange denies the allegations.
