A German court began proceedings against former Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn on Thursday, to ascertain whether he is guilty of market manipulation as part of the carmaker’s emissions scandal.
Earlier this month it was confirmed that Winterkorn would stand trial over the car giant’s “dieselgate” scandal, which involved using software known as “defeat devices” to ensure the vehicles performed better in emissions tests than they would in real-world running.
