Diesel emissions scandal: VW fined €1bn by German prosecutors

Car giant Volkswagen has been fined €1bn (£880m) by German prosecutors over its diesel emissions scandal.

The Braunschweig public prosecutor said VW had sold more than 10 million cars between mid-2007 and 2015 that had emissions-test-cheating software installed.

The car firm said it did not plan to appeal against the fine.

Prosecutors said this meant VW had admitted “its responsibility for the diesel crisis”.
