Federal prosecutors allege the Saudi Arabian government recruited two Twitter employees to spy on accounts of users critical of the kingdom.
SAN FRANCISCO – Two Twitter employees have been charged with acting as unregistered agents for Saudi Arabia after its government recruited them to spy on the kingdom’s critics.
The complaint also alleges that Ahmad Abouammo, who left his job as the media partnership manager responsible for Twitter’s Middle East region in 2015, falsified documents and lied to FBI agents when they questioned him at his Seattle home. After he was caught, Alzabarah told Twitter officials he looked up the information out of curiosity. He was placed on administrative leave and had his company-issued laptop taken away.
