Only four days of proceedings had passed in the criminal trial against Martin Winterkorn before the Braunschweig Regional Court when the proceedings came to a standstill again in October 2024. Winterkorn, now 77 years old, is in poor health and has had several hip operations. He is said to have injured himself again last fall in his villa in the posh Bogenhausen district of Munich. From the context of the criminal proceedings there was talk of an “accident in the domestic environment”. The result: All hearing dates were suspended and a restart of the proceedings was scheduled for the first quarter of 2025. Now it is clear: these plans are also a waste of time.
