In context of supervisory board kursiertenbereits pay how much money is to be fetched from winter grain. Connoisseurs of company would have said that winter grain is worth a billion euros. The former VW boss earned more than 100 million euros in course of his decades-long career in group. His pension rights alone totaled almost 30 million euros. “This money would be completely gone in extreme case,” said Berlin law professor Gregor Bachmann of FAs: “By lawsuit in America, Fate for winter grain takes a dramatic turn.”
Nachdemdie U.S. prosecutor’s office in Detroit Winter Corn accused of his role in exhaust gas manipulations, US judiciary issued a warrant against him shortly reafter. The US Department of Justice shared that for authorities, winter grain is on run. In Germany, thief Raun is investigating prosecution against winter corn.
The action of US investigators for events in Germany does not have direct consequences. But it probably increases pressure on local prosecutors and VW Group. Even if winter grain is not complicity to be proven in fraud, it can be held liable with its assets. According to German law, managers are not only liable if y deliberately harm a company, but also if y were negligent in control.

“Negligent breach of duty” – that is name of technical term – can destroy its more bourgeois existence, as law professor Gregor Bachmann explains in FAs: for this, it must not even be demonstrated that winter grain failed to control. The so-called organ liability reverses burden of proof and requires that winter grain itself must prove to have done everything to detect and punish rule violations.
Prosecutor will soon decide on indictment
So far, damage of diesel scandal amounts to 25.8 billion euros. VW is legally obligated to make former chief executive officer liable in event of breaches of duty. According to its chairman Hans Dieter Pötsch, supervisory board checks to make claims against winter grain apply: “This test lasts”, FAs quotes him.
According to Public Prosecutor’s Office in Braunschweig, it is soon to be announced wher re will be a charge against winter grain and 38 more accused for manipulation. The defenders of accused should be granted access to files “in summer”, said spokesman of prosecutor, Klaus pull.
In USA, Winter corn Conspiracy is accused of deception DerBehörden in exhaust gas manipulations. U.S. Justice Minister and Attorney General Jeff Sessions voice a system of deception at head of WeltgrößtenAutobauers. The American investigators assume that DassWinterkorn had already been informed about irregularities BeiDieselabgaswerten in May 2014. Winter corn has denied dasimmer again.
The SPD traffic expert Kirsten Lühmann said in German radio, when winter grain had testified at beginning of 2017 in Bundestag Committee of inquiry, he knew nothing of all this, he had already at that time Inroom hardly one believed. “But we could also take Gegenbeweisnicht.” That judiciary has now acted in United States, but not in Germany, has to do with unterschiedlichenRechtssystemen. Lühmann expects that Diedeutsche justice will also act as soon as it gesammelthat all evidence. It is true that German investigators have long tested to be sure that it is not only for an indictment, but also for a conviction rich. Nothing would be more embarrassing, Alswürde a Verfahreneröffnen under pressure of public, and n evidence was not enough – with DerKonsequenz that procedure would be discontinued.
