Well he is wanted in Sweden for sexual assault , and with important people these kinda things can get shady , for example the Dominique Strauss-Kahn affair : he was known to be notoriously unable to keep it in his pants but still was at the time a potentially heavy political opponent for the french ex-president . Plus I'm not so sure he is really safe in that embassy , as in Ecuador could just sell him out for a diplomatic "bonus" with the us .
