On January 4, 2021, the British judiciary refused to extradite Julian Assange to the United States, where the founder of the website Wikileaks faces up to 175 years in prison for publishing hundreds of thousands of confidential US diplomatic and intelligence documents. The US government immediately appealed, and Julian Assange remains in a high-security prison near London to this day. Anyone interested in Julian Assange beyond the courtroom is entering a kind of brutally real spy novel in which diplomacy, politics and intelligence services are inextricably intertwined. From Quito to Madrid, from London to Washington, from Stockholm to Mexico City, our reporters spent five years researching all over the world, speaking to the most important players in the Assange case: hackers, spies, lawyers, advisers, ministers and heads of state. This chronicle of an espionage affair presents previously unknown evidence and witnesses in the Julian Assange case. #julianassange #assange #espionage Video available on Youtube until 20/06/2024 Subscribe to ARTE's Youtube channel: / artede Follow us on social networks: Facebook: / arte.tv Twitter: / artede Instagram: / arte.tv
