(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 10 - Uber has been carrying out a huge lobbying campaign for years, also putting pressure on political leaders to become a leading company in the transport sector, upsetting the taxi sector.
Even using unscrupulous methods and breaking laws.
This was revealed by the Guardian, which had access to 124,000 confidential documents dating back to the period in which Travis Kalanick was at the top of the company.
Among his sponsors, also Emmanuel Macron when he was Minister of Economy and former EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes.
Kalanick (forced to resign in 2017) also met Joe Biden when he was US vice president.
