The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has asked a federal judge for permission to question another Volkswagen AG official about allegations the company destroyed documents related to its diesel emission test cheating.
The commission says it launched an investigation in March after Daniel Donovan, a former Volkswagen Group of America employee, filed a whistleblower lawsuit that claimed he was fired for refusing to delete data about the cheating. Reuters says the lawsuit was settled in June, and Donovan agreed to cooperate with VW’s own probe into the affair.
In July three U.S. states filed a lawsuit claiming that several VW engineering department employees deleted or removed sensitive data in 2015 after being advised by a company attorney about an impending order not to do so. The lawsuits followed confirmation in June of the incident by a German prosecutor.
