Diesel scandal: Ex-VW boss Martin Winterkorn claims to have only found out about the problems late and incompletely. He said he was not involved in the decisions about the development or use of the shutdown device.

The Braunschweig Higher Regional Court has been negotiating the model lawsuit brought by the Sparkasse fund company Deka Investment for price losses suffered as a result of the VW emissions scandal. Plaintiffs accuse VW and Porsche Holding of informing investors too late about the extent of the diesel scandal, thereby causing them to lose the value of their shares.
