Prosecutors in Germany tell Automobilwoche that they expect courts to settle four lawsuits against people indicted for aiding Volkswagen AG’s diesel cheating.
Prosecutors in VW’s home state of Lower Saxony say they have indicted 47 people in the scandal covering 11 million diesels rigged to foil emission tests.
Separately, VW’s supervisory board chair Hans Dieter Poetsch tells the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that fully resolving the cover-up will take far longer. He also says VW won’t release the findings of its own internal investigation or those of the independent probe conducted by U.S. law firm Jones Day. Doing either, Poetsch says, would be “unjustifiably risky.”
Last week VW filed a motion in a Munich court to block prosecutors’ use of information they seized during a raid of Jones Day offices in Germany. Earlier today the court ruled that the searches were legitimate.
