Volkswagen AG Chairman Hans Dieter Poetsch tell reporters there will be more disciplinary action against employees involved in the company’s diesel emission cheating scandal.
“There will yet be a whole string of consequences,” Poetsch says.
VW so far has suspended about two dozen employees for their roles in doctoring 11 million diesel-powered vehicles to evade pollution standards. VW has refrained from taking further action at the request of U.S. investigators, who said sanctions would discourage others from revealing details about the cheating.
But that restriction will end on Friday when VW is schedule to plead guilty in a Detroit federal court to three felony counts, Reuters notes. The plea is part of the company’s $4.3 billion (€4.1 billion) settlement with U.S. regulators and federal prosecutors.
