A federal jury has convicted a one-time Twitter employee and Walnut Creek resident of acting as an unregistered agent for a foreign government and unlawfully using Twitter information, authorities said.

Ahmad Abouammo, 44, a resident of Seattle, also was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction, wire fraud, international money laundering and falsification of records in a federal investigation, according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Stephanie M. Hinds of the Northern District of California. The jury came to its verdict on Aug. 10 following a two-week trial.
