In 2019, Abouammo was arrested and charged with committing wire fraud, as well as with acting as an agent of a foreign government without disclosing that work. Ali Alzabarah, a former colleague of Abouammo’s who fled the country, was also charged. Prosecutors said the plot had begun when Abouammo met Bader Binasaker, a top adviser for Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman. At the time, Binasaker was operating as a foreign government official, and Abouammo knew it, prosecutors said. They continued communicating with each other and later met in London, where Binasaker gave Abouammo a luxury watch.
