A series of highly-confidential talks between the three nations led to the Wikileaks founder being arrested yesterday inside the embassy where he has spent nearly seven years.
In extraordinary scenes, eight British policemen hauled a bearded and dishevelled Assange, 47, to a waiting police van after Ecuador ended his asylum status yesterday
The country said it was tired of his 'discourteous' behaviour and poor personal hygiene, which reportedly included smearing faeces on the walls of the embassy.
In a shocking turn of events, he was then charged by the American government with hacking 750,000 classified documents, which carries a five-year sentence.
The arrest of Assange followed talks initiated in June by Foreign Office minister Sir Alan Duncan
The arrest was a culmination of an international diplomatic process initiated in June last year by senior Foreign Office ministerSir Alan Duncan.
The British politician opened talks withEcuador on revoking Assange's asylum status, which eventually led to discussions with the US about a possible extradition.
A breakthrough in discussions was finally reached when the US gave assurances that Assange would not be given the death penalty should be face justice in the states.
