Bezos launched an investigation after an alleged extortion attempt by The National Enquirer contained private text messages with his girlfriend.
Jeff Bezos' security chief Gavin de Becker said in a bombshell article that the Saudi government had accessed the Amazon chief's phone and gained private information from it.
The investigation was launched after a blackmail attempt and an exposé from The National Enquirer contained private text messages between Bezos and his new girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez. The publication was quick to push Sanchez's brother Michael as the source of the leaked information, which deBecker now posits was a diversion tactic from Saudi agents.
Jeff Bezos' security chief Gavin de Becker said in a bombshell column published Saturday that the Saudi government had access to the Amazon chief's phone and gained private information from it. He also suggested that a widely publicized narrative surrounding the claims that The National Enquirer attempted to extort Jeff Bezos may be an effort to distract from the alleged Saudi surveillance.
Bezos' tensions with the company reached a fever pitch in February when Bezos alleged in a widely-readthat the National Enquirer tried to blackmail him by threatening to publish intimate text messages and photos and that he had launched an investigation after a January exposé on his relationship with Sanchez to find out how the paper obtained the private information in the piece.
