Ecuador has an agreement in place with Britain for Assange’s arrest, WikiLeaks said
Ecuador plans to expel WikiLeaks founder JulianAssange from its London embassy and has an agreement in place with Britain for his arrest, WikiLeaks said, citing a source within the Ecuadorian government.
Ecuador’s government did not respond to calls made after office hours, but the Associated Press reported that no decision has yet been made, citing an unidentified government official. Jennifer Robinson, a lawyer for Assange, declined to immediately comment. U.S. prosecutors in court filings last year may have inadvertently revealed that Assange has been charged in America. In an unrelated case, federal prosecutors in Virginia, said that “no other procedure is likely to keep confidential the fact that Assange has been charged.”
WikiLeaks cited the unidentified person as saying the planned expulsion is a response to the organization’s recent tweet linking to a website that alleged money laundering and corruption during Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno’s time as United Nations special envoy for the disabled in Geneva. Foreign Minister Jose Valencia said last month that the government was “very surprised” by that and other actions by Assange and his lawyers.
