A former VW manager was arrested for failing to appear at his trial related to the Dieselgate scandal. The Braunschweig Regional Court ordered his detention to ensure the trial proceeds. This week, another fraud trial began against three former VW employees accused of developing illegal software for emissions manipulation. One defendant was excused due to health reasons, but the court deemed this insufficient. The Dieselgate scandal emerged in 2015 when VW admitted to using illegal software in diesel engines, affecting millions of vehicles. Previous VW managers have faced prison sentences, while proceedings against former CEO Martin Winterkorn are currently suspended due to health issues. The trial against the three managers will continue next week, with over 150 hearings scheduled until the end of next year.
