Firm benefited from close relationship with Emmanuel Macron when he was economy minister, inquiry finds

The six-month investigation, prompted by the Guardian’s Uber Files revelations last year and involving 67 hearings and testimony from 120 witnesses, found Uber benefited from a close relationship with Emmanuel Macron when he was the economy minister and the company was trying to establish its services.
