A report by law firm Jones Day about the Volkswagen diesel emission scandal concludes that VW CEO Matthias Mueller had no knowledge of the cheating scheme, according to Bild am Sonntag.
The German newspaper says Mueller didn't learn about VW’s use of software to evade emission standards in 11 million vehicles until September 2015. That was when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the illegal practice.
Mueller had been in charge of Porsche at the time and was promoted to group CEO a week after the disclosure. He replaced Martin Winterkorn, who resigned because of the diesel rigging scandal.
