Hong Kong (CNN Business)Saudi Arabia has denied any involvement in the National Enquirer’s reporting of an affair between Amazon (AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
A Saudi official told CNN late Tuesday that the kingdom “categorically rejects all allegations that it is involved in any fashion in the apparent dispute” between Bezos and American Media Incorporated, which publishes the tabloid.
The response comes after a private investigator working for Bezos wrote an op-ed over the weekend, claiming that the kingdom had access to the billionaire’s phone and had “gained private information.”
