Ecuadorean judge orders Swedish citizen close to Assange jailed pending trialOla Bini, Julian Assange's close friend has been jailed in Ecuador pending trial. More recently, Ecuadorean President Lenin Moreno had accused WikiLeaks and Assange of violating his privacy by publishing private family photographs. WikiLeaks has denied those allegations, arguing that Moreno was attempting to deflect attention from corruption allegations against him. Bini, a 36-year-old software developer, works at the Quito-based Center for Digital Autonomy, an organization focusing on cybersecurity and data privacy. It also presented a report showing he had paid more than $230,000 for internet services between 2015 and 2019.
