The long-delayed trial of former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn opens nine years after the company admitted to widespread emissions test rigging, highlighting corporate scandal repercussions.
As Winterkorn stands trial for his alleged role in the 'dieselgate' scandal, he faces serious charges including conspiracy to commit fraud, and potential jail time.
The court proceedings have faced numerous delays, largely due to Winterkorn's health concerns, prompting questions regarding his ability to endure the lengthy trial.
Winterkorn's case emphasizes corporate accountability, as he's been accused not only of fraud but also of misleading a parliamentary committee during the emissions scandal investigation.
