[HIGHLIGHTS] Winterkorn rejects responsibility in the VW diesel scandal

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 necessary, he would have flown to the USA himself to speak confidentially with the authorities, he said. The OLG is currently dealing with around 4.4 billion euros in damages from the scandal, which was exposed in 2015.
