Abouammo and another former Twitter employee, Ali Alzabarah, were charged with espionage in 2019. The accusations were then increased in 2020 to include a third person, Ahmed Almutairi, who reportedly supervised the plot. The US government continues to seek Almutairi and Alzabarah. Human rights campaigner Ali Al-Ahmed sued Twitter last year, alleging that the network should have done more to secure his information.
