It is likely that a little time will pass, and Julian Assange will become the prototype of the hero of one of the Hollywood films. Because any story based on real events easily attracts the public. The plots that life itself creates are sometimes more surprising than the most sophisticated fiction.
Who is Julian Assange and what is known for? In 2006, he founded the Internet resource WikiLeaks, which during its existence, some countries, including the United States, caused more damage than other military conflicts.
Documents that WikiLeaks makes publicly available are top secret. In particular, the portal posted a classified video of a helicopter attack on Reuters journalists and accompanying persons whom the American warriors mistook for terrorists. Then 18 people died, and the video was called the "attendant murder." There was a big scandal in the press about this. The same thing happened when Assange transmitted to the leading world media about 100 thousand secret documents related to the war in Afghanistan. Then he announced another 15 thousand documents of the Pentagon, which are in his possession.
It was decided to stop Julian Assange. So far, the US prosecutor’s office has just mentioned that it is going to accuse the owner of WikiLeaks of inciting theft of state property, in Sweden he was already accused of double rape. After Interpol put Assange on the wanted list, he appeared at the London police station. The British court of first instance decided to extradite him to Sweden. Having reached the Supreme Court of Great Britain and not having found protection in his person, Assange took refuge in the territory of the Embassy of Ecuador in London, where he now seeks political asylum.
A limited circle of people knows about the channels through which classified materials go to WikiLeaks, maybe only one - Julian Assange himself. He took up the security of computer networks in the pre-Internet era, and in 1991 he was arrested for hacking the central server of the telecommunications company Nortel Networks, operating in Canada. Then Assange escaped with a fine. Then he was detained on suspicion of theft of 500 thousand dollars from Citibank accounts, but they could not prove it.
Australian born Julian Assange is a man of the world. Having spent his childhood in a stray acting troupe, he now wanders around the world, simultaneously fulfilling the mission that he has chosen for himself - to make clear the dirt that politicians are trying hard to keep secret.
