Summary
Palantir, a US tech firm with controversial clients including Israel's military and Trump's border regime, is suing London Mayor Sadiq Khan for blocking a £50m deal to supply AI criminal investigation software to the Metropolitan Police. The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) justified the block by noting the Met only engaged with Palantir as a single supplier and failed to follow proper procurement procedures by not presenting their strategy to the deputy mayor for approval.
