According to reports in El País newspaper, UC Global installed specialized video surveillance equipment to spy on Assange in December 2017 until their contract was terminated in April 2018. The data was then allegedly made available to the CIA.
“Recording devices and cameras in the rooms where Mr. Assange …essentially live streamed what he was doing and saying back to Washington,” Richard Roth, another of the lawyers in the New York lawsuit, told Law and Disorder radio. “I think that there was clearly a desire to bring down Julian Assange any way possible.”
The decision to spy on Assange coincides roughly with the time that Lenin Moreno was took over as president of Ecuador in May 2017 who had made no secret of his desire to evict Assange. (Assange was granted asylum in the embassy by the government of Rafael Correa, Moreno’s predecessor.
