French Regulators Raid Google Paris Headquarters

Hundreds of tax officials and law enforcement flooded into Google Paris this morning.  Reports started around 7am.  Le Police nationale came rolling up with their silly sirens, and they’re out for black-and-white proof of something, anything, that can buoy the fledgling European Union.

The jig is up, global businesses.  Europe is a hell hole.  The safe havens in Ireland will soon be called into question.  Interesting times.

Here’s a link to the French news site breaking the news.  You may need to use Google Translate to work through it (IRONY!).
