Google board sued over ‘cover up’ of misconduct
Reuters | Jan 12, 2019, 06:54 ISTSAN FRANCISCO: Two shareholder lawsuits filed this week accused the board of Google parent Alphabet Inc of playing a direct role in covering up misconduct claims against two ex-executives. The firm declined to comment.
The allegations stem primarily from large severance payments to Andy Rubin, who led Google’s Android mobile operating division until 2014, and Amit Singhal, head of Google’s search unit until 2016. Rubin and Singhal have denied the claims. Google CEO Sundar Pichai apologised last year to employees for the companies’ past handling of misconduct cases.
