In 2012, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange sought asylum in the Ecuadorean embassy in London and has not stepped out of the building since.

In 2012, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange sought asylum in the Ecuadorean embassy in London in an attempt to avoid being extradited to Sweden over rape and sexual assault allegations.

The INA Papers are a set of documents which have implicated Ecuadorean President Lenin Moreno in alleged criminal activity, including corruption and money laundering. While Sweden has since dropped its rape case against Assange, British authorities have said they will still arrest him as soon as he steps out of the embassy because he defied the orders of a U.K. judge and fled extradition, thus violating his bail conditions. U.K. police are on standby 24 hours a day to keep watch over his movements.

“The road is clear for Mr. Assange to take the decision to leave,” Moreno said at the time, noting that he would not forcefully expel Assange. While there has been no official confirmation, in November 2018, an administrative mix-up in the U.S. justice department—that saw Assange’s court filing apparently submitted in error—indicated that the WikiLeaks founder’s suspicions may indeed be true.
