Uber would have broken laws to enter the market
A leak of documents shows that Uber would have incurred in a series of crimes to be able to enter the main cities of the world
The American company Uber managed to penetrate the main cities around the world thanks to a strategy that included breaking laws, deceiving and lobbying in the highest spheres, according to a leak from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
The more than 124,000 documents that make up the Uber Files expose the ethically questionable practices of the company that Travis Kalanick ran at the time and that went through courting prime ministers, presidents, billionaires, oligarchs and media moguls.
The leaked documents are dated between 2013 and 2017 and include communications from Kalanick himself with his managers. One of them acknowledges that they behave like “pirates” and in another leaked document says that “we are just fucking illegal.”
There are 40 countries affected by the documents gathered by the British newspaper The Guardian, which has shared them with 180 journalists from 29 countries.
In response, from Uber they pointed out that “we have not made and will not make excuses for past behaviors that are clearly not consistent with our current values. We ask that you judge us for what we have done in the last five years and what we will do in the next years”.
