Prosecutors in Germany have searched 11 Daimler AG sites in search of files and evidence in an investigation of possible illegal diesel emission control system manipulation, Reuters reports.
Officials say the raids involved 23 prosecutors, 230 staffers and multiple police authorities orchestrated by the public prosecutor’s office in Stuttgart. The office says its probe targets known or unknown employees suspected of “fraud and misleading advertising” linked to control systems that allow Daimler’s diesels to exceed emission limits.
German prosecutors began an investigation of Daimler in March. In April the company noted that regulators in the U.S. also had investigated the function of auxiliary emission control devices used in diesels that power Mercedes-Benz vehicles sold there.
