Julian Assange appears in Madrid court via videolink from Britain on allegations that a Spanish firm spied on him while he lived inside London's Ecuadorian embassy
Demonstrators hold placards ahead of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange appearing before the Spanish High Court via videolink, in London, Britain, December 20, 2019.
The case, led by Spanish judge Jose de la Mata, focuses on allegations that first cameras and then microphones were installed in the embassy between June 2017 and early 2018 by Spanish private security firm Undercover Global S.L.
Owner and director of UC Global S.L. David Morales declined to say whether his company spied on Assange. "All the information is confidential and it belongs to the government of Ecuador," Morales told El Pais in July. "We simply did a job."Speaking outside the court in Westminster, former Ecuadorean consul in London Fidel Navraez accused Undercover Global of betraying Ecuador and Assange.
Assange's legal team wants to have the firm and its founder charged with crimes including violation of privacy and attorney-client privilege, money laundering, and bribery.
