I don't imagine a European country arresting an American for something that was done in America that is legal to do in America would go over real well with the US government.

This stems from the United States making their laws apply globally.

Also question how would they know who owns the company? I don't think US Gov would easily give out info on US company to foreign country or Union for such no-crime related abuse.
