Wikileaks founder Julian Assange may have been expelled from the Ecuador embassy for allegedly leaking an embarrassing photo of the Ecuadorian President lounging on a bed dining on lobster in a hotel room.

The photo, which is one of the more embarrassing snaps, is part of 200 private e-mails, texts, and documents published on an anonymous website inapapers.org. The leak apparently infuriated Ecuadorian President Lenín Moreno, who accused Assange’s Wikileaks of being behind the publication. The leaked files also include photos of Moreno’s family on lavish holidays in Europe, reported The New York Post.
