The emission lawsuit filed by consumers to the German automotive giant Volkswagen front has been concluded. The court wants the company to compensate users.
The Dieselgate scandal, which appeared in 2015, affected the 10.7 million vehicles sold by the German manufacturer between 2007 and 2015. The company, which showed emission values low through a software, had to recall millions of vehicles worldwide. While the effects of the scandal, which only 2.8 million vehicles were affected in its homeland, were gradually erased, the amount of the penalty imposed in Germany was also evident. Judicial authorities and Volkswagen AG agreed on the company's payment of 1 billion euros. In the past days, the lawsuits filed by the unions were concluded and a new compensation had emerged.
Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper; “The Supreme Court did not only prove that the company is doing an unethical, deliberate deception, but found that particularly unpleasant and strategic reasons play a role in this behavior. Thus, the words of the former company CEO Matthias Müller that the individual engineers might have gone astray were thus completely collapsed. The company wobbled for a long time, trying to minimize and cover up what was going on. This has maximized the damage it has experienced in its image, but it has not prevented the depreciation of stocks and the billions of euro burden. Its expensive law consultants are as much a loser of the day. The Supreme Court ultimately and extremely well justified that the emission gas fraud was an emission gas fraud. This determination is more important than the money that tens of thousands of automobile customers will get by making a complaint. ” spoke in the form.
Die Welt newspaper wrote as follows; “Volkswagen has displayed an 'immoral' and 'especially ordinary' behavior. It feels good to be able to say such clear words about the Wolfsburg car maker. The company acted exactly like this by equipping millions of diesel cars with illegal exhaust gas technology. The Supreme Court made this decision, thereby paving the way for compensation for tens of thousands of diesel drivers. This decision can be quite expensive for Volkswagen, and it is good. ”
