A US District Court has sentenced US-Lebanese national Ahmad Abouammo to three and a half years in prison for leaking the private information of Twitter users to the Saudi royal family. The ruling on Wednesday came after Abouammo was found guilty by a jury in August of spying on behalf of Saudi Arabia.
Abouammo had worked for Twitter and was in charge of helping oversee media partnerships for the company in the Middle East and North Africa. He was found to be part of a scheme to acquire the personal information of users, including phone numbers and birth dates, for a Saudi agent.
