Wikileaks founder Assange 'to be expelled' from Ecuador embassy

Source: Al Jazeera English

Ecuador is preparing to expel WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange from its embassy in London within "hours to days", according to a Wikileaks Tweet.

According to the tweet sent out on Thursday, the "#INAPapers offshore scandal" was being as a pretext to expel Assange.

"A high level source within the Ecuadorian state has told WikiLeaks that Julian Assange will be expelled within 'hours to days' using the INAPapers offshore scandal as a pretext - and that it already has an agreement with the UK for his arrest," the tweet read.

The WikiLeaks statement comes two days after Moreno accused Assange of repeatedly violating the terms of his asylum and said the government was seeking an arrangement with Britain to allow Assange to leave the embassy.

Although I suppose a Russian diplomat could arrive and escort him out to a waiting car under their diplomatic cover. That's what Russia tried to do with Mariia Butina, iirc.
