  • Aug.20.2020: VW Chairman Settles Another Market-Manipulation Case. Volkswagen's chairman settles a market-manipulation case related to disclosure of the company's diesel-rigging scheme. Volkswagen AG Chairman Hans Dieter Poetsch settled a market-manipulation case that alleged he and other former executives informed markets too late about implications of its diesel-emissions rigging for Porsche Automobil Holding SE, VW’s majority shareholder. Poetsch agreed to pay 1.5m euros ($1.8m) to end the case, a spokeswoman for Stuttgart prosecutors said by phone. The investigators also ended the probe against former VW CEO Matthias Mueller, who at the time also served on the Porsche board. He didn’t have to pay a fine. The probe against Martin Winterkorn, former CEO of both companies, will continue. Karin Matussek, Bloomberg.
