A department within London mayor Sir Sadiq Khan’s office unlawfully blocked a £50 million between Metropolitan Police and technology firm Palantir “because of an alleged mismatch between Palantir’s ‘values and ethics’ and ‘London’s values’”, High Court documents claim.
Palantir, founded by tech magnate Peter Thiel, is suing the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (Mopac) after it refused to approve the deal earlier this year.
