Undercover Global was an international security firm, based in Spain, founded by David Morales, which was found to have betrayed its client, Ecuador, when it entered into a secret contract with the US Central Intelligence Agency to monitor Julian Assange, while he sought sanctuary in the Ecuadorian embassy, in London.[1][2]
