<p>Sweden&#8217;s highest court has upheld a court order to arrest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for questioning over claims of rape and sexual assault.</p>
<p>The 39-year-old Australian is believed to be in hiding in England as the latest publications on his whistle-blowing website fuelled global uproar.</p>
<p>The Metropolitan Police refused to discuss whether officers from its extradition unit were preparing to detain Mr Assange.</p>
<p>A spokesman said: &#8220;We do not discuss any purported communication regarding extradition cases unless a person has been placed before City of Westminster Magistrates Court.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is understood police have exchanged information with the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca), which oversees extradition requests.</p>
<p>Detectives in Sweden want to question Mr Assange after two women claimed they were sexually attacked when he visited the country in August. The Supreme Court upheld a court order to detain Mr Assange for questioning. He has not been formally charged.</p>
<p>Mr Assange had appealed two lower court rulings allowing investigators to bring him into custody and issue a European arrest warrant. The sex case is Mr Assange&#8217;s most pressing legal issue, but may not be his last as several countries chew over the impact of his diplomatic cable disclosures.</p>
<p>Since leaving Sweden, the computer hacker has appeared in Britain and Switzerland but disappeared below the public radar after a press conference in Geneva on November 5.</p>
<p>Mark Stephens, who represents Mr Assange in Britain, said his client would challenge any arrest warrant in court.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;The process in this case has been so utterly irregular that the chances of a valid arrest warrant being submitted to me are very small.&#8221;</p>
