Assange may have been victim of 'espionage' in embassy: Lawyers

MADRID: Julian Assange's lawyers have filed a court complaint in Spain against a group of Spaniards they allege extorted the WikiLeaks founder whom they say may have been the victim of"espionage", a source in his defence team said on Saturday .

The source, who wished to remain anonymous, said the complaint was against"a group of Spaniards who allegedly engaged in extortion." The source added a probe was ongoing into the alleged extortion, as well as"espionage" that could have taken place against Assange, without giving further details.According to online daily eldiario.es, four Spaniards have videos and personal documents of Assange which they somehow obtained via an alleged spying system that included security cameras set up in the embassy in London.

If confirmed, it is unclear how the Spaniards got access to the alleged spying system and were able to get the information about Assange.
