German prosecutors are considering whether to open a new criminal investigation into Volkswagen AG after the carmaker said it found faulty emissions readings in gasoline-powered vehicles and more diesel cars as a manipulation scandal widened.
Prosecutors in Braunschweig are already looking into VW’s diesel products, and will examine the newly disclosed information with a decision on a new investigation coming by next week, spokesman Klaus Ziehe said by phone Thursday. A separate case would be necessary since the accusations involve other cars and other people, he said.
