South Korea's antitrust regulator is investigating Volkswagen over its advertising claims on emissions from its cars. Seoul's Environment Ministry filed a criminal complaint against the head of Volkswagen and Audi's South Korean arm this week, claiming that a proposed fix on its emissions-cheating cars fell short of legal requirements. The move comes after Volkswagen's chief executive admitted to using software in his diesel vehicles designed to cheat emissions tests.
