The U.S. firm bought Autonomy for $11 billion in 2011.

Mike Lynch, once hailed as Britain's answer to Bill Gates, faces Hewlett-Packard in London's High Court on Monday in a multi-billion dollar showdown over the U.S. technology company's 2011 purchase of the Autonomy software business he founded.

Lynch has denied the allegations and said the failure of the $11 billion acquisition was down to HP's mismanagement. Lynch has been engaged in a war of words with HP ever since he was fired by former HP CEO Meg Whitman in 2012 less than a year after the deal was completed. An amended indictment filed on Friday added charges against both men, including a securities fraud count against Lynch that could subject him to a 25-year prison term.
