Uber CEO has been ordered to give documents to a San Francisco judge who is examining whether the ride-hail giant hired private investigators to illegally gather information on its opponents during an antitrust case. When confronted about the investigator’s calls, attorneys for Kalanick initially denied that the company was involved with them, according to court documents. The original suit alleges that Uber , Uber , was involved in a price-fixing scheme with Uber drivers, and only names Kalanick , rather than Uber , although Uber has requested to intervene. The judge must now decide whether a private investigator hired by Uber to elicit information about Travis Kalanick , the lead plaintiff, made “false representations” to gain access to information about the plaintiff and his counsel.
