Europe's top court orders Apple to fork over $14 billion in unpaid taxes to Ireland, even though the Irish tried to let the tech giant wriggle out of it
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has issued a final judgement in an eight-year legal case, and ordered Apple to pay the Republic of Ireland an eye-watering €13 billion ($14 billion) in unpaid taxes.
