Please correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't they enticed to operate out of Luxembourg by a sweetheart tax scheme established by the then-Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Jean-Claude Junker, who is now President of the EU? I doubt anyone would bat an eyelid. The corruption is endemic.

Yeah. As much as Brexiters, LePeners and AfDlers are name-called as "racist/bigoted idiots", they have a point about EU bureaucracy, corruption, too close too lobbyists and too ready to fuck the little people.
