The Volkswagen emissions-test scandal smouldered on. German prosecutors1 expanded the number of employees under investigation2 to 17, though they have yet to find firm evidence that senior executives knew about the rigged software in diesel3 cars that yielded false test readings. French authorities opened a formal inquiry4 into “aggravated fraud”. Michael Horn, VW’s chief in America, where the scandal started, resigned.
