The snapshot highly embarrassing to the left-wing Moreno, whose country is reeling under financial strain was among 200 private e-mails, texts and documents posted to the anonymous Web site early last month.
A photo of Ecuadorian President Lenín Moreno lounging in bed with a giant platter of lobster in front of him may have spurred Julian Assange’s eviction from the country’s London embassy.
Moreno blamed Assange’s WikiLeaks for the publication of the damning trove, which also included other photos of the president and his wife on lavish European vacations.
In a radio interview, Moreno griped that “photos of my bedroom, what I eat and how my wife and daughters and friends dance” were leaked.
“Assange cannot lie or, much less, hack into private accounts or private phones,” Moreno raged.
