A former Twitter manager was sentenced Wednesday to 3 1/2 years in prison for spying and funneling private information about dissidents to the Saudi royal family.
Prosecutors said the company's policies required him to protect Twitter user information, to disclose conflicts of interest, and to report gifts from those with business with Twitter.
The official from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was head of the"private office" of a royal family member who was a minister of state and then became the minister of defense and deputy crown prince, according to prosecutors. In October 2018, FBI agents interviewed Abouammo at his residence about his involvement in the scheme with officials of the KSA. Evidence at trial showed that Abouammo provided false information to the FBI investigators and provided a false invoice for one of the payments he received from the foreign official.
