Saudis gained access to Amazon CEO Bezos' phone: Bezos' security chief
The security chief for Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos said on Saturday that the Saudi government had access to Bezos' phone and gained private information from it.
Gavin De Becker, a longtime security consultant, said he had concluded his investigation into the publication in January of leaked text messages between Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, a former television anchor who the National Enquirer tabloid newspaper [had] said Bezos was dating.
Last month, Bezos accused the newspaper's owner of trying to blackmail him with the threat of publishing "intimate photos" he allegedly sent to Sanchez unless he said in public that the tabloid's reporting on him was not politically motivated.

People aren't supposed to just get murdered in embassies. And indeed, he probably would have been fine if his phone hadn't been hacked and his planned movements were not known. The killers were flown in after all.

When you have powerful enemies, you don't blithely answer the beck and call of a representative of those enemies. He most probably didn't need any paperwork, it was some bogus, made-up necessity.
