Extensive 'spying operation' discovered against Julian Assange, WikiLeaks reveals | nickdmiller

WikiLeaks has discovered an extensive "spying operation" against Julian Assange inside the Ecuadorian embassy, gathering data that was used in an extortion attempt, WikiLeaks editor Kristinn Hrafnsson has revealed.

Assange’s lawyer Jennifer Robinson said it was a severe breach of lawyer-client privilege and undermined his legal team’s ability to properly defend their client. The alleged extortionist told Hrafnsson "we have this and a lot of more [sic], apart of very important audios. The price is from 3,000,000 euros, or we'll start to publish by our own way ".

Spanish police set up a "sting" operation in co-operation with WikiLeaks, and an investigating judge has been appointed to take over the case.

jaraparilla NickdMiller Almost the whole truth. Some glaring omissions of facts eg INA Papers weren't published by WikiLeaks; JA hasn't had phone/internet access for a year so he couldn't possibly hack Moreno's phone etc; Sweden did interview JA and subsequently closed the case due to lack of evidence.

NickdMiller Wikleaks lost any credibility when it tied itself to Putin & became a dirt file unit for Trump & other authoritarians
