Frankly this one remains unproven at best: all we know for sure is that the plane landed after its pilot cited fuel issues at a time when memos were circulating reminding border controls that Snowden was a wanted fugitive.

Edit: downvoters are welcome to prove me wrong by providing evidence to the contrary. We've no more reason to believe Morales is telling the truth than any of the alleged conspirators, particularly not when his own account is contradicted by the hard evidence of what the pilot said before landing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/07/03...

Perhaps there were legitimate fuel-gauge issues, perhaps not. That's disputable, and we will never know the truth. However, the fact that multiple US-allied nations denied that plane entry into their airspace isn't in dispute:
