Latest update : 2015-10-08
German prosecutors on Thursday announced they had searched Volkswagen (VW) headquarters near the northern city of Wolfsburg as part of an investigation into the auto giant’s falsification of emissions data.
Other Volkswagen locations were also searched by prosecutors with the help of police, amid an expanding scandal over millions of diesel VW cars that were equipped with technology designed to cheat on emission tests.
“Today, in connection with the so-called emissions scandal, raids were carried out at Volkswagen in Wolfsburg and other locations," prosecutors from the state of Lower Saxony said in a statement.
The targets of the search were documents and data storage devices, the prosecutor’s office added.
