Ecuador’s foreign minister has said sexual assault allegations in Sweden against Julian Assange are laughable, but no ruling has been made on the WikiLeaks founder’s asylum application.

‘‘Personally, (I think) this is hilarious,’’ Ecuadoran chief diplomat Ricardo Patino told reporters today, explaining that Assange ‘‘is charged because his condom broke’’.

Assange is currently at the Ecuadoran embassy in London, seeking political asylum in the Latin American country.

Ecuadoran officials are examining the allegations of sexual misconduct in their review of Assange’s application.
