Renault Leak Said to Involve Several Chinese Firms

Renault SA’s investigation into alleged leaks of electric-car secrets by company executives uncovered links to several Chinese companies and one in another country, a French official with knowledge of the probe said.

The official, who declined to be named because the investigation is confidential, would not identify the companies or the second country involved. Renault said yesterday it held final interviews with the three suspected executives prior to their likely dismissal for “serious misconduct.”
