Hov, det er da egentlig godt at høre. Vildt at det tog dem 10 år at komme til en dom i sagen, virkede ret åbenlys, men det var så også en stor skandale.

In 2019, German prosecutors charged then-CEO Herbert Diess, Chair Hans Dieter Pötsch and former CEO Martin Winterkorn — who resigned shortly after the scandal broke in 2015 — with market manipulation related to the emissions deception.

Winterkorn was originally set to be part of this trial, but was removed for health reasons before it kicked off in September 2021. In his capacity as a witness and defendant, Winterkorn has continued to deny responsibility for the scandal.

Der er selvfølgelig ingen grund til at tro at ham Martin Winterkorn var uskyldig, men fin finte.
