A search will be carried out next week and the documents will then be handed over to the U.S. government.
Documents and possessions left behind by Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London will reportedly be handed over to the U.S. government.
WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson tried unsuccessfully to retrieve Assange’s possessions after the Australian was arrested on April 11 when the South American country withdrew its asylum and British authorities subsequently found him guilty of breaching bail seven years ago. U.S. authorities allege Assange conspired to commit computer intrusion in the U.S. and played a crucial part in one of the biggest leaks of government documents. In 2010, his website disclosed 450,000 secret documents from thousands of internal US communications about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The case was dropped in 2017, but following the 47-year-old’s arrest and the revocation of his asylum, the woman who made the allegation wants the investigation reopened.
