More than 180 journalists at 40 media outlets including the Guardian, Le Monde, The Washington Post and the BBC have collaborated on a series of investigative reports about how Uber’s ruthless tactics helped it to gain a foothold in crucial cities around the world.
The Guardian’s print edition and website front pages lead with the story under the headline “The Uber files: Leak reveals secret lobbying operation to conquer the world,” and report how the company “broke rules, duped police and put pressure on politicians to allow its regulation-busting service to flourish.”
