Ex-Volkswagen CEO charged with fraud in diesel emissions row
Former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn was charged in a US federal court with conspiring to defraud regulators about the automaker's diesel emissions cheating. Winterkorn had resigned days after the emissions scandal became public in September 2015. "The indictment...alleges that Volkswagen's scheme to cheat its legal requirements went all the way to the top of the company," the court said.
