WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told CNBC Friday that he’s being “attacked” by banks in Dubai, Switzerland, the US and the UK.

Assange did not specify what he meant by "attacked."

WikiLeaks reiterated its plans to release information about banks in January, although Assange didn’t specify which "leaks" the website would address. Friday's statement to CNBC marks the first time Assange has mentioned banks in Dubai.
