Spanish Police Probe Extortion Scheme Involving Surveillance on Assange
UPDATED: Suspects are being investigated in Spain for having tried to extort 3 million from WikiLeaks in exchange for a huge cache of documents and surveillance videos of Assange inside Ecuadors London embassy, including with his doctors and lawyers.
A Spanish judge is investigating an alleged extortion scheme in which suspects in Madrid offered video and audio surveillance to the editor of WikiLeaks in exchange for 3 million, WikiLeaks said on Wednesday.
The surveillance was taken over the past year inside the Ecuador embassy in London, where WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has legally been granted political asylum since 2012, said Kristinn Hrafnsson, the WikiLeaks editor, at a press conference in the British capital. Included in the trove of material was a copy of a legal document regarding Assanges defense strategy that was briefly left behind in a conference room in the embassy, Hrafnsson said.
It is a grave and serious concern when legal meetings are being spied upon and legal documents are stolen, he said. That is something that not even prisoners have to endure.
Assange was also filmed being examined by his doctor in the embassy, Hrafnsson said. Nobody expected that this was recorded and stored and found its way to some dubious individuals in Spain, he said.
Or was that just rumor?
Any 8chan nerdlings got the scoop?
