Volkswagen must face US investor lawsuit in emissions scandal
Volkswagen AG and former Chief Executive Officer Martin Winterkorn must defend an investor lawsuit in California over the company's diesel emissions cheating scandal.
In addition to the ruling, US District Judge Charles Breyer also rejected a request by VW brand chief Herbert Diess to have the proposed securities fraud lawsuits tossed out of a California court. Other defendants include VW's US unit and its Audi of America unit and the former head of its U.S. unit, Michael Horn.
