Julian Assange spent $500,000 on a flight from London to a remote U.S. territory to avoid setting foot on the U.S. mainland on Tuesday.
Julian Assange was spotted boarding a plane to a remote U.S. territory to attend upcoming hearings for his plea deal Tuesday.
Assange reportedly spent $500,000 on the flight to the territory of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, an intentional decision to avoid setting foot on the U.S. mainland. Assange accepted a plea deal with the American government on Monday.
Assange spent five years in a British prison as he attempted to prevent his extradition to the U.S. The plea deal included a sentence of five years in prison and it took time served into account, effectively releasing Assange.
