Sigurdur Ingi Sodason testified when the US Department of Justice charged Assange. However, in an interview with Stundin, Sodason revealed that he had been offered to forge his testimony after being offered a conviction for sexual abuse and financial fraud against minors he had committed in the past.

Sodason was a 2010 fundraiser for WikiLeaks and was convicted of embezzling more than $ 50,000 in funding. Instead of exempting Mr. Sodason from his past charges, the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI tried to prosecute Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, who had leaked a number of confidential information about the U.S. government.

Mr. Assange is currently being charged with violating the Anti-Spy Act, and the US government is seeking the transfer of his identity from the United Kingdom. If Assange is convicted, he could face up to 175 years in prison.



In the complaint, the U.S. Department of Justice called 28-year-old Sodason a 'teenager' and Iceland 'NATO Country 1'. Instructed. ' More specifically, the indictment states, 'Under Mr. Assange's instructions, he hacked a parliamentarian's computer and attempted to record a conversation.'

However, Sodason told Stundin that he had 'never been instructed to hack' by Assange. Mr. Sodason actually communicated with Mr. Assange, 'I just received some data files from a third party who offered to share this data with Mr. Assange.' 'We haven't checked the contents,' Sodason said, although the data may have included recorded data.

Meanwhile, Judge Vanessa Baraitser's decision in January 2021 upheld the claims of the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI that 'Mr. Assange led the hack in Iceland and collected recorded data.' You can see that the forgery of the testimony that he planned was successful.



There are other counterfeit parts of the US Justice Department's indictment. For example, a January 2021 ruling stated that 'Assange and a teenager made a joint attempt to decipher a NATO Country 1'file stolen from a bank'and failed.' It was leaked by a whistleblower inside an Icelandic bank, not strictly 'stolen'.

In addition, the indictment stated that 'Assange used the information provided by the informant to gain unauthorized access to the NATO Country 1 government website to track police vehicles.' 'The information used to access it was Assange's own, not obtained by fraudulent means,' Sodason said.

To support his statement, Sodason has submitted to Stundin a chat log from 2010 to 2011 when he worked for WikiLeaks. 'It included details of the conversation between Mr. Sodason and the staff at WikiLeaks and the communication with the members of the international hacking group that Mr. Sodason had contacted,' said Stundin, who scrutinized the chat log. It was also revealed from the chat log that Mr. Sodason was in contact with the members of the hacking group independently, but this was not reported to the staff of WikiLeaks, 'WikiLeaks side should know this. There wasn't, 'Stundin points out.

In addition, as a result of tracing back the chat log, Mr. Sodason exaggerated himself as 'WikiLeaks number 2' and 'communication manager' when contacting the outside, and unauthorized access and DDoS attacks against hackers. It seems that he was able to confirm that he was compelled to do.

And, as Mr. Sodason argued, 'I couldn't find' a chat log that was instructed by WikiLeaks to launch these cyberattacks, Stundin wrote. However, Assange knew (that he had contacted the hackers and led the cyberattack), and I think he was expecting this, 'Sodason said. Assange said he couldn't find any statements in the chat logs that he wanted a cyberattack.



In addition, Mr. Sodason repeated illegal cyber attacks with Mr. Sabu, a member of the hacker group 'LulzSec'. However, this is also not instructed by WikiLeaks. In addition, although Mr. Sodason did not know at that time, Mr. Sabu, a collaborator, was arrested by the FBI in June 2011, and it seems that he was threatened to become an informant and collaborator of the station. So when Sabu asked Sabu to 'launch a cyberattack against the Icelandic government,' Sabu was already under FBI surveillance. From these things, Stundin wrote, 'The FBI may have been trying to get Assange involved in Soderson's plans for a cyberattack on the Icelandic government.'

In fact, Ögmundur Jonason, then Iceland's Interior Minister, admitted that there was a partnership between the FBI and the Icelandic government: He used the people of the country to deploy spider webs on the Internet to catch Julian Assange. '

In addition, Mr. Sodason was told by the staff of WikiLeaks that he was instructed to send money to his personal account in the name of Mr. Assange, so he went to the US embezzlement in Iceland to escape the crime of embezzlement of funds. Send an email stating 'Provide information about criminal investigations'. From here, Mr. Sodason was proposed to become an informant for the US Department of Justice to prosecute Mr. Assange.
