WikiLeaks will lodge a complaint with the European Commission against credit card giants Visa and MasterCard if the two companies refuse to lift their ban on donations to the site, their lawyer said Monday.
The controversial site that has infuriated the US by leaking thousands of diplomatic cables was to file the complaint yesterday if the ban is not lifted first, the site's Iceland-based lawyer Svein Andri Sveinsson told AFP.
WikiLeaks will also file separate complaints in both Denmark and Reykjavik, likely in September, hoping to recover the tens of millions of euros it says it has lost through the seven-month donation freeze, Sveinsson said.
