Embassy wants rid of smelly Assange
WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assange is at risk of being forced out of his hideaway at the Ecuador embassy in London over complaints about his body odour.
He has been ordered to take more showers after staff raised objections to his “poor hygiene”.
Mr Assange has been holed up in the embassy since 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden on rape charges.
He has now been granted Ecuadoran citizenship – but embassy insiders say some staff want him kicked out over his smell.
One source commented: “It seems that he does not wash properly.”
It is not the first time that Mr Assange’s hygiene has been an issue.
Former Wikileaks colleague Jérémie Zimmermann said after visiting him at the embassy that “he might not change his clothes for days”.
And another pal, Daniel Domscheit- Berg, said: “Julian eats everything with his hands and he always wipes his fingers on his pants. “I have never seen any pants as greasy as his in my whole life.” Although rape charges in Sweden are now being dropped, Australianborn Mr Assange still faces arrest for skipping bail. And authorities in the US have confirmed that arresting him is still a priority.
