Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands –
Julian Assange, the controversial founder of WikiLeaks, has finally reached a plea deal in a U.S. court in Saipan. After years of legal battles, the 52-year-old has pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to obtain and disseminate national defense information in the Northern Mariana Islands.
This plea bargain will eventually lead to Assange’s freedom, marking the end of a lengthy legal saga. In a surprising turn of events, Assange humorously remarked to the judge that his satisfaction depends on the hearing’s outcome.
