Volkswagen AG pushed back against German prosecutors following a raid of a local office of Jones Day, the U.S. law firm the carmaker has hired to investigate the roots of its diesel-emissions scandal.
"We view the move by Munich prosecutors as unacceptable in every respect," VW said in an emailed statement Thursday, without specifying where or when the search took place. The manufacturer will take "all measures available to us" to defend itself. Jones Day spokesmen weren’t immediately available for comment.
