Autonomy Trial Ex-HP CEO Léo Apotheker had not read any of KPMG's due-diligence reports on Autonomy ahead of his company's $11bn acquisition of the British software maker, he told London’s High Court on Tuesday.

Under cross-examination from barrister Robert Miles QC, acting for former Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch, Apotheker painted a grim picture of the top of HP in the immediate run-up to the US titan's acquisition of Autonomy in 2011.
