Martin Winterkorn, former CEO of Volkswagen, is on trial for his role in the emissions cheating scandal, raising questions about accountability in corporate governance.
Prosecutors argue that Winterkorn knowingly allowed misleading software to remain on vehicles, deceiving both regulators and owners, severely impacting public trust in automakers.
The trial of Winterkorn is pivotal, as it may signal a shift in how German authorities hold executives accountable for corporate misconduct.
Volkswagen's emissions scandal has cost the company billions and prompted scrutiny regarding environmental regulations and executive responsibility in the automotive industry.
