Prosecutors in Germany are backing away from last week's declaration that former Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn was the focal point of their investigation into the company's diesel emission test cheating scandal.
Now they say they won't open a probe into Winterkorn without "concrete facts" to justify it, Bloomberg News reports.
The prosecutor's office in Lower Saxony announced its investigation after VW called for a criminal probe into who authorized the use of software to trick government emission tests. Observers speculate to Bloomberg that prosecutors may have been advised to proceed cautiously because of VW's importance to the German economy.
