Kutayba Alghanim and his brother Bassam have fought over the division of assets they inherited from their father. The assets include Kuwaiti conglomerate Alghanim Industries and a stake in Gulf Bank. The feud intensified in 2005 when Kutayba's son Omar, a Harvard MBA grad, took over the reigns of the family holding company, which sells General Motors vehicles, among other things. Bassam accused Kutayba and Omar in U.S. courts of hacking into his email to gain the upper hand in negotiations. In October 2011 a U.K. judge ruled that Kutayba and Omar may have orchestrated the hacking. In the U.S. a judge put the case on hold, pending arbitration in Kuwait. Omar became chairman of Gulf Bank in March 2013.
