The OpenAI engineer charged with planting a listening device in a company conference room was allegedly communicating with a member of the Saudi royal family and was arrested days before he and his family were booked on a one-way flight to Saudi Arabia, according to a detention memo filed by the Justice Department. A Saudi military official allegedly booked and paid for Abdulrahman Alfozan's family's flight out of the country after he was arrested, according to the memo, which was filed Sunday night. Alfozan was scheduled to go to Saudi Arabia on parental leave on Oct. 12 and booked a one-way ticket with no set date to return to the United States, according to the memo.
