New raids at Volkswagen

wolfsburg - The German authorities made incursions at the head office of Volkswagen in Wolfsburg at the beginning of March. According to business magazine WirtschaftsWoche it would be a new investigation into alleged market manipulation around the diesel scandal at Volkswagen.

Thirteen offices reportedly have been investigated by the judiciary, seizing documents and computer files. This information will be investigated in the coming weeks.

Volkswagen just wanted to confirm that there have been incursions. In September 2015 came to light that Volkswagen had tampered with the emission values ​​of diesel cars. In connection with this case, several house searches have already been made at the company in the past.

The new investigation would be a statement that Volkswagen had published at the end of 2015, in which false statements were made about the scale of the diesel scandal. Thus, investors would therefore have been misinformed. The scandal has cost Volkswagen many billions.
