A Google engineer who stole 14,000 files of trade secrets on self-driving cars before going to work for Uber has been pardoned by President Trump.
Anthony Levandowski, 40, was sentenced to 18 months in prison last August for what a judge called the biggest trade secret crime I have ever seen , although he was not yet in custody.
He was one of 73 people pardoned by Trump on his final day in office, with the White House describing him as a brilliant engineer with talents needed by the country. Mr Levandowski has paid a significant price for his actions and plans to devote his talents to advance the public good, the White House said.

Harry Kane is one of the best footballers in the world currently but, a decade ago this week, he was on the losing side at Oakwell in an FA Youth Cup match after being outshone by a spectacular goal by an opposition striker.
Danny Rose, who had turned 17 four days earlier, sent a stunning overhead kick into the top right corner of the Tottenham Hotspur under 18s’ net in the third minute of a 3-1 win for his hometown club Barnsley on December 14, 2010. Kane, then 17 himself and a highly-rated England youth international, scored a consolation penalty after a Reds side – containing his future England World Cup team-mate John Stones – raced into a 3-0 lead with the other goals by Jordan Clark and Brad Riley.
