Assange: 'Ecuadorian embassy staff are like my family'
Wikileaker fills time hanging with celebs ... and hoping rape allegations will 'disappear'
By Team Register, 15th October 2013
Julian Assange has said that the folks at the Ecuadorian embassy in London he currently calls home are like a family to him ... "Some staff have been here nearly 20 years," said Assange ... He said .. it wasn't easy to live in an embassy for 500 days .... He also reiterated that he wasn't concerned about the rape allegations filed against him in Sweden ... "... I assume the Swedish case will disappear of its own accord in due course," he said.
