The lawyer of the Assange-linked Swedish computer scientist Ola Bini, Carlos Soria, accused prosecutors of having initially been “undecided” on what to charge the defendant with, as Bini’s first trial day took place in Quito on Wednesday.
Bini has been charged with an alleged crime of non-consensual access in government telematic systems. “[We want] to show that both the prosecution and the private prosecution were first undecided on what to charge Ola Bini with. And after that, we effectively tried to prove this to an independent court, hoping that this time justice will be done in the case of Ola Bini,” explained Soria.
“We have waited almost three years for this moment and the expectations are being fulfilled, we are being able to refute the evidence presented by the prosecution and logically we will present our own in the coming days,” added Soria.
The collaborator and friend of WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange faces charges of ‘non-consensual access to a computer system.’ Bini was arrested on April 11 2019 as he was set to travel to Japan, the same day Assange was expelled from the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
Bini was released on bail in 2019, but banned from leaving the country. Bini has been accused of conspiring to blackmail Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno due to the cancellation of Julian Assange’s asylum status and the latter’s subsequent arrest.
Ecuadorian Interior Minister Maria Paula Romo has argued that Bini travelled at least a dozen times to meet with Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

SOT, Carlos Soria, Ola Bini’s lawyer (Spanish): “A profound lack of knowledge on the part of the prosecution and private prosecution of the subject matter of the trial, they are trying to prove a computer crime on the basis of presumptions, presentations of documentary evidence that does not even reflect a computer fact per se, it is really the lack of knowledge and the use of the punitive power of the state directly against a citizen who did not commit any mistake other than having chosen Ecuador as his country of residence.”
