European Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker, has launched an unprecedented investigation into whether his predecessor, José Manuel Barroso, broke EU rules by taking a job at Goldman Sachs, the bank blamed for the economic crisis sparked in 2008. Juncker’s action came after EU ombudsman, Emily O’Reilly, called on the Commission to clarify its position on the issue.
