The founder of WikiLeaks is accused of hacking and espionage by the North American country, who would ask for a 175-year sentence in prison.
Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, was warned in the United States about the great filtration of public data that occurred in 2011 and that convinced the Australian in the public enemy number 1 of the North American country.
According to various means of communication and internet portals, Assange makes contact with the United States government to try to reduce the damage that could be received by his staff.
The founder of WikiLeaks called on Cliff Johnson, a State Department lawyer in 2011, to comment on the situation that was selling in the following days.
“The situation is that we have information on the archives of the State Department’s database, with 250,000 diplomatic cables, including declassified cables, being disseminated, and we believe that within the next few days they will be public,” says Assange in a call to Johnson.
On the one hand, Assange le habría gave an option to the State Department to avoid the publication of these data and the only one was “viable to destroy” them. WikiLeaks and its founder stated that the situation was more of a “United States problem than the portal”.
The United States accuses Assange of espionage and computer piracy, for which reason he requested extradition from the United Kingdom, where he has been detained since 2019, to judge in his country and ask for a penalty of 175 years in prison.
