After the scandal, Volkswagen CEO Muller was formally investigated by the prosecution
Matthias Mueller, chief executive of the Volkswagen Group, is also investigating the company's official prosecution in Germany for allegedly disclosing important information about the company's scandal and manipulating the market in the Porsche acquisition. Although the German public prosecution department has always adopted the attitude of "Buyiburao" and raised the investigation of senior officials of the group, it is directly related to the practice of the new CEO after the scandal broke out. Industry surprised.
In September 2015, the Volkswagen emissions scandal shocked the world, faced with huge fines and investigations in several countries, and Martin Winterkorn, who was under pressure from public opinion, had to choose to resign from the Volkswagen Group. Crisis moment, the original Porsche CEO Muller won the Volkswagen Group board of supervisors "overwhelming" support, rushed to take "Shuaiyin."
Muller spent more than four decades in the Volkswagen Group, and for the year 62-year-old Mueller, his most urgent task after taking office is to win back the trust of consumers and regulators. At the outset, the new CEO, Muller, was the most "innocent" in the scandal of the industry, as well as the local prosecutors, for the mass group rush to clarify the relationship with "past". However, in March this year, the German local prosecutors launched a "surprise" to more than the public and Audi employees personal calendar, notebooks, and even smart phones to investigate the memory card, which includes the Mueller.
Today, the German District Attorney has conducted a formal investigation into Muller and Chairman of the Public Board of Supervisors, Hans Dieter Poetsch, which is the first time that the public's "helm", who has been in office for less than two years, has been listed for the first time by the German government. In this regard, the British "Financial Times" (Financial Times) pointed out that the investigation of the prosecution and the Stuttgart prosecutors on the Porsche Holdings more than members of the board of directors suspected of manipulating the market between the existence of "internal relations."
As of now, the public and the Porsche official did not make any comment on this. Muller's spokesman said he did not know the survey. Previously, the public has repeatedly insisted that the group executives are not aware of the scandal of the emissions, all the responsibility lies in some of the engineers "good at advocacy", and until the regulatory intervention, senior management began to slowly understand the truth.
But the public has repeatedly apologized to the public on the matter, while promised to improve corporate transparency and should shoulder the social responsibility.
Among them, the car manufacturer's "error correction" attitude first responded to the product strategy "subversive" changes - from the traditional diesel energy into electrification driven. "The future is electric." Mueller recently held an annual meeting in Hannover, Germany, said the public will be 2025 years ago to become the "leader" in the field of electrification.
It is reported that Volkswagen plans to bring 10 electric vehicles before 2018 years, and in its "2025 strategy", there are 30 balance models are being planned. Muller said the Volkswagen Group over the past five years to replace the powertrain research and development has spent 3 billion euros, and in the next five years, the public will continue to increase investment.
