Uber spent £75 million a year courting politicians and allegedly broke laws while disrupting the world taxi market, according to an investigation.
The 45-year-old, who since made more than £2 billion selling off his shares, allegedly dismissed serious concerns for his drivers’ safety while fighting efforts to ban or restrict ride-sharing apps. He denies having ‘directed illegal or improper conduct’. ‘Violence guarantee[s] success. And these guys must be resisted, no? Agreed that right place and time must be thought out.”
Emails between staff referred to Uber having actively flouting regulations or having an ‘other than legal status’ in those countries as well as the Czech Republic, Turkey, South Africa and Russia.
