Sorry for not being 100% clear, the paths leaked have been received by
12702 on peering sessions, for example from 

1273 (Cable & Wireless)
6453 (Teleglobe)
6830 (UPC)

to name the largest ones. There is no way those should be advertised by
701 to Sprint, GBLX et al. 

Advertising MCI customer routes would indeed be expected, but as far as
I can tell right now _no_ prefix that shares this path is a MCI Europe
customer prefix. Either because those are not announced (which would be
a funny coincidence) or because most networks peer with 12702 directly.
