大众公司前CEO将面临组织性商业欺诈指控

路透社称，大众汽车前首席执行官马丁??温特科恩(Martin Winterkorn)将面临共谋有组织商业欺诈的指控，定罪的可能性很大，法院正在调查这家汽车制造商的柴油排放丑闻。

温特科恩和其他大众汽车公司的高管因允许装有非法排放屏蔽软件的柴油车上路而面临指控。法院补充说，前大众汽车高管还应面临逃税和虚假广告的指控。

这起丑闻于2015年9月被美国当局揭发，大众汽车在整改、法律费用和和解方面损失超过300亿欧元（350亿美元），并导致管理层和战略改革。

温特科恩的一名律师表示，他的客户否认了这些指控。

Former Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn will face charges of conspiracy to commit organized commercial fraud with a high likelihood of conviction, a court probing the carmaker’s diesel emissions scandal said on Wednesday.

Winterkorn and other Volkswagen executives face charges for their role in allowing diesel cars with illegal emissions-masking software to hit the road. Former Volkswagen executives should also face charges of tax evasion and false advertising, the court added.

The scandal, which was uncovered by U.S. authorities in September 2015, has cost Volkswagen more than 30 billion euros ($35 billion) in refits, legal fees and settlements, and resulted in a drastic management and strategy overhaul.

A lawyer for Winterkorn said his client denied the charges.  source
