A federal judge in Detroit has delayed sentencing a Volkswagen AG employee who was directly involved in developing software that enabled VW diesel engines to manipulate emission tests, Reuters reports.
James Liang, a German who lives in California, pleaded guilty to violating U.S. emission laws and conspiring to commit wire fraud. The judge says he is postponing sentencing from Feb. 1 to May 3 because Liang is continuing to cooperate with prosecutors.
A federal indictment says Liang was on a team of engineers in Germany that developed a software “defeat device” for the diesel-powered VW Jetta sedan in 2006, according to Reuters. The company has since admitted using the device in 8.5 million of its diesels worldwide, including 475,000 in the U.S.
