[Note: The developments outlined below, as reported by the Australian media, were later to be found mostly in error. Marianne Ny did not leave the Assange case, and most importantly: the client dropping Claes Borgström was not Anna Ardin but Sofia Wilén. Ed.]

STOCKHOLM (Rixstep) — Anna Ardin no longer wants the services of Claes Borgström.

Ardin claims Borgström's been inaccessible and spent more time talking to the media than to her.

Claes Borgström now sent his final bill to the judicial authorities for 'services rendered'. That document has been leaked by confidential sources.

Following is an itemisation of Claes Borgström's bill, totalling $17,406 for 48 hours of 'services rendered'.

Borgström defends his behaviour, saying that normally he wouldn't debit for time spent talking to the Swedish and international media, but this case is different and he should be paid.

Of note is that Ardin (and likely Wilén as well) have been interrogated four times, as late as 15 August 2011.
