VW emissions probe to investigate board chair Poetsch
6 November 2016 Business
Car giant Volkswagen says German prosecutors have expanded their probe of the emissions scandal to include the firm's chairman of the board.
Hans Dieter Poetsch was chief financial officer when the scandal over cars rigged to cheat on US diesel emissions tests broke in September 2015.
VW said prosecutors in Braunschweig were investigating two members of the board, Mr Poetsch and an unnamed other.
Former boss Martin Winterkorn is already being investigated.
