Winterkorn rejects responsibility in the VW diesel scandal. As a witness in court, he describes his view of the emissions cheating.
Winterkorn claims to have only found out about problems with the US authorities ‘very late’ and ‘incompletely at first’ “If I had been given a complete picture of the internal processes in the responsible departments, I would not have hesitated to tackle the processes directly and clarify them,” said WinterkORN. If necessary, he would have flown to the USA himself to speak confidentially with the authorities, he said.
