A former OpenAI engineer has been accused of planting surveillance devices in the company's offices while maintaining contact with members of the Saudi royal family and preparing to relocate to Saudi Arabia.12 The suspect, identified as Abdulrahman Almutairi, allegedly installed listening devices in confidential conference rooms at OpenAI and communicated with Saudi royal family members via WhatsApp.2 A federal court approved the government's request on Monday to keep Almutairi in custody pending further proceedings.2

Evidence presented by the FBI reveals that Almutairi possessed a folder on his phone labeled "Saudi Gov Docs" containing photographs of a second surveillance device he had allegedly planted.2 U.S. prosecutors have warned that his actions pose a potential threat to American national security.1 According to court documents, Saudi Arabia reportedly provided assistance to Almutairi's family, and he had been seeking an opportunity to permanently relocate to the country before his arrest.2
