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.
