That's not how rules based democracies work.
Prosecutor works independently. Sweden has civil law system based on classical Roman law and German model. There is no plea bargaining, everyone who is prosecuted must stand trial.
The investigation was just suspended because Assange could not be questioned.
They bring him for questioning to get interview. After that, the prosecutor may choose not to press charges.
The case seems very weak, so the prosecutor may drop the case.
