Ecuador is in talks with Britain over the fate of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been holed up at Ecuador’s Embassy in London since 2012 when he was granted political asylum, the country’s President Lenin Moreno said in an interview to El Pais daily published on Sunday.
Swedish authorities dropped their investigations last year, but British authorities still want to arrest him for breaching bail conditions.
Mr. Moreno, who visited Spain and Britain last week, said the “ideal” solution would involve Mr. Assange accepting a “penalty” for having breached British bail conditions and then be “extradited to a country where he does not face any danger”.
