Julian Assange is fighting extradition to the United States saying his life would be in danger. As the Spanish newspaper El País reported last year a private security firm, Undercover Global spied Assange when he lived in the Ecuador embassy in the United Kingdom, spying on him 24/7 on behalf of the CIA.
Undercover Global is owned and led by David Morales, a former officer in Spain’s military, who trained the Navy’s special ops unit.
The Grayzone picks up the story from there;
Edward Fitzgerald, a defense attorney for Assange, alleged Morales returned from Las Vegas in 2017 after attending a security trade fair. While he was in the United States, Morales inked a contract to provide security for Adelson’s private yacht, and allegedly negotiated a “side agreement” to go to the “dark side” and spy on Assange for U.S. intelligence. A whistleblower who worked for Undercover Global, who was referred to in court as “Witness #2,” revealed how data was collected and uploaded daily to a remote server.
Undercover Global personnel surveilled privileged meetings between Assange and his lawyers. The WikiLeaks publisher met with his legal team in the women’s bathroom to ensure privacy, but it did not matter; microphones had been planted there too.
