    UBER Technologies Inc, facing a federal probe into whether it broke laws against overseas bribery, has embarked on a review of its Asia operations and notified US officials about payments made by staff in Indonesia, people with knowledge of the matter said.

    As the Justice Department looks into a possible criminal case, Uber is working with law firm O'Melveny & Myers LLP to examine records of foreign payments and interview employees, raising questions about why some potentially problematic business dealings weren't disclosed sooner, said people, who asked not to be identified because the details are still private.
