QUITO (Reuters) - Ecuador reserves the right to conduct an investigation of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for allegedly leaking information about President Lenin Moreno's personal life, the foreign minister said on Monday.

Assange, an Ecuadorian citizen, has lived in the country's London embassy for nearly seven years. Moreno has said Assange has violated the terms of his asylum, but that the country has no imminent plan to expel him from the embassy.
