Prosecutors say former OpenAI engineer Abdulrahman Alfozan, accused of planting a hidden recording device at the company, had considerable support from Saudi Arabia. A court filing claims a Saudi royal contacted him frequently and that a Saudi military official paid for his wife and son to fly out after his arrest. The US government wants him held in custody, arguing he is a flight risk.
