Former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn on Trial in Germany Over 'Dieselgate' Scandal
Sep 3, 2024, 01:58 PM
Former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn has gone on trial in Germany on Tuesday, nine years after the 'Dieselgate' scandal. Winterkorn faces charges of fraud, market manipulation, and false statements related to Volkswagen's use of rigged software that allowed millions of cars to cheat on emissions tests. The scandal, which emerged in 2015, severely damaged Volkswagen's reputation and led to significant financial penalties for the company. After several delays, if convicted, Winterkorn could face up to 10 years in prison.
