WikiLeaks claimed in a tweet that the Ecuadorian state has an agreement with UK authorities for its founder’s arrest when he is removed from the embassy.
Assange has been in Ecuador's London embassy since 2012 after he sought refuge there when a British judge ruled he should be extradited to Sweden to face sexual assault allegations.
A tweet from WikiLeaks on Thursday night read: “A high level source within the Ecuadorian state has told @WikiLeaks that Julian Assange will be expelled within "hours to days" using the #INAPapers offshore scandal as a pretext--and that it already has an agreement with the UK for his arrest.”
Its comes after Ecuador’s President Lenin Moreno said Assange has "repeatedly violated" the terms of his asylum in the London embassy, where he has lived for nearly seven years.
