The U.S. Dept. of Justice plans to appoint Larry Thompson, deputy attorney general in 2001-2003 under President George W. Bush, to monitor Volkswagen AG reforms after it cheated on diesel emission tests, according to multiple media reports.
Thompson will review VW’s test procedures and monitor efforts by VW’s management and supervisory boards to comply with U.S. pollution laws. He will have authority under terms of a plea agreement VW reached with the Justice Dept. last summer to interview VW employees and executives in Germany, the U.S. and elsewhere.
Thompson headed the federal government task force that prosecuted the Enron Corp. scandal. He also is a former U.S. attorney in Georgia and general counsel for PepsiCo. Thompson currently is an attorney with the Atlanta-based trial law firm Finch McCranie LLP.
