President Lenin Moreno of Ecuador told radio stations Tuesday that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has "repeatedly violated" the terms of his asylum in the nation's London embassy, where he has lived for nearly seven years.
Moreno, interviewed by the Ecuadorian Radio Broadcasters' Association, said Assange does not have the right to "hack private accounts or phones" and cannot intervene in the politics of other countries, especially those that have friendly relations with Ecuador.
Attorneys for Assange did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
