... a new set of leaks by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), the German radio group NDR and the London Guardian newspaper, allege that Juncker took a close interest in tax affairs and that -- under his leadership -- Luxembourg managed to block a tax 'peer review' process between member states and an investigation into cross-border tax avoidance strategies.
