Volkswagen says charged in France over ‘dieselgate’ scandal

Author: AFP

German automaker Volkswagen said Wednesday that it has been charged by French prosecutors over alleged cheating on emissions testing, the latest consequence of the “dieselgate” scandal that has already cost the company billions of euros.

In a statement a day after French rival Renault announced it had also been charged in the inquiry, VW denied causing any “harm” to French consumers, though a source close to the inquiry said it faces “deceit” charges.
