Police conducted searches at two Volkswagen AG offices in France on Friday as part of an investigation into “aggravated deception” by the company over diesel-powered vehicles rigged to cheat emission tests, Reuters reports.
Prosecutors say police seized computer-related materials at VW’s office outside Paris.
VW has acknowledged it sold 11 million of the doctored vehicles worldwide, including 8.5 million in Europe and 946,100 in France. The company said last week it intends to recall all affected vehicles in Europe to apply repairs that could vary from software updates or equipment modifications to vehicle replacements.
