Germany probes ex-Volkswagen CEO over pollution scam
German prosecutors have announced that they
opened a criminal investigation into Volkswagen’s
former chief executive Martin Winterkorn over a
worldwide pollution cheating scandal.
Winterkorn resigned in the midst of global
outrage after Volkswagen revealed that 11 million
of its diesel vehicles are equipped with devices
that fool official pollution tests.
The world’s top-selling carmaker admitted that it
had rigged diesel emissions to pass US tests
during his tenure.
The investigation will concentrate on the
suspicion of fraud committed through the sale of
vehicles with manipulated emissions data and
aims to determine who was responsible for it,
prosecutors in Braunschweig said in a statement.
“The investigation will focus on the allegation of
fraud by selling vehicles with manipulated
emission values,” the statement said.
“The aim of the investigation is to clarify the chain
of responsibility,” it added.
In the German system, anyone can file a criminal
complaint with prosecutors, who are then obliged
to examine it and decide whether there is enough
evidence to open a formal investigation.
