Investigator says Amazon chief JeffBezos' phone hacked by Saudis, case linked to news coverage of JamalKhashoggi murder SaudiArabia

WASHINGTON - The investigator hired to look into the release of intimate images of Mr Jeff Bezos said on Saturday he has concluded that Saudi Arabian authorities hacked the Amazon chief's phone to access his personal data.

"Our investigators and several experts concluded with high confidence that the Saudis had access to Bezos' phone, and gained private information," Mr de Becker wrote on The Daily Beast website. "It's clear that MBS considers The Washington Post to be a major enemy," Mr de Becker wrote, referring to the oil-rich kingdom's powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whom the US Senate, after a closed-door briefing by the CIA, named as responsible for the murder.

Mr Bezos has accused Enquirer publisher American Media, led by Mr David Pecker, of blackmail for threatening to publish the intimate photos if he did not halt the investigation.
