Amazon (AMZN.O) won its fight against an EU order to pay about 250 million euros ($303 million) in back taxes to Luxembourg in a blow to competition chief Margrethe Vestager's crusade against preferential deals.
The setback renewed calls from EU lawmakers for a global corporate tax deal and legal analysts said Vestager was unlikely to give up her pursuit of large companies over the amount of tax they pay.
The bloc failed to show that Luxembourg had given the U.S. online retailer special treatment in violation of state aid rules, the EU's General Court ruled on Wednesday.

So what is the deal with Amazon winning so much?
Are the prosecutors not doing a proper job?
Are people picking on Amazon because of their success?
The only issues I have with Amazon are that I feel like companies like them are bad for some business. The other issue with them is that they are starting to take away peoples' freedom of speech under some absurd guidelines. They take down things that they don't like and lie about the reasons.
