PREMiERdrum Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Volkswagen has been ordered by a U.S. judge to pay a $2.8-billion criminal penalty for cheating on diesel emissions tests. Federal Judge Sean Cox in Detroit approved a deal negotiated by Volkswagen and the U.S. Justice Department. The penalty was ordered Friday, six weeks after the German automaker pleaded guilty to conspiracy and obstruction of justice. The fine pushes the financial cost of the scandal to Volkswagen for just court penalties and vehicle buybacks past $15 billion. http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-volkswagen-emissions-fines-20170421-story.html Edited April 21, 2017 by PREMiERdrum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
