The owner of the UC Global company, David Morales, who spied on Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London has been included in the international SIRENE alert that includes international search and capture orders. On March 8, the Portuguese police intercepted him at the border on the way to Lisbon, warning the Spanish and European police. Morales was in a van with two other people and had suitcases in the back of the vehicle.
The ex-military man was arrested in Jerez in October 2019 and was conditionally released with the ban on leaving Spain. He is being investigated for violating the secrecy of the cyber activist’s meetings with his lawyers and has precautionary measures.
Morales’ defense ensures that his trip “to Ayamonte and the Portuguese border on March 7, 2021, It consisted of accompanying some clients to the border with Portugal in Ayamonte (Huelva), so that from there these clients, who were accompanied by David Morales, could take a vehicle (Taxi) that would take them from the border post to Lisbon. “
However, Julian Assange’s defense assures that the intention of the ex-military man was to flee from Spain along the same lines as the state attorney general’s office, which on April 21 stated that “in the present case, there are indications of the possible commission of a crime of breach of precautionary measure with respect to the limitation of the freedom of movement contained in the order of freedom, which established the measure of prohibition of leaving the national territory, having seen the SIRENE report “.
Last February Morales declared before Judge José de la Mata that former Ecuadorian ambassador Carlos Abad asked him to record Assange’s conversations during his stay at the diplomatic legation. Ambassador Abad died last November. Morales presented as evidence an alleged email from the former ambassador of January 27, 2018 in which it was requested to place a microphone in the meeting room of the embassy. Later, Abad filed a complaint against Morales and his lawyer for falsifying his mail and his signature in the framework of a labor lawsuit in Spain.
Morales will testify tomorrow at the request of the judge of the National Court, Santiago Pedraz for a possible crime of violation of precautionary measures. According to judicial sources, the objective is to review these measures.
