The Uber files: how the leak prompted outrage across the world

From Europe to India and the US, the revelations have fuelled anger from across the spectrum, from the drivers to politicians

• What are the Uber files?
• Uber broke laws, duped police and secretly lobbied governments
• The worldwide scale of the Uber files - in numbers

The release of the Uber files has prompted a frenzy of reaction around the world, piling pressure on senior politicians, fuelling calls for a crackdown on corporate lobbying and drawing outrage from groups including traditional taxi drivers.

The fuse was lit with the publication of revelations from a trove of more than 124,000 documents about Uber spanning from 2013 to 2017, leaked to the Guardian and shared with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and international media.
