Paris Prosecutor Seeks Fourth Aggravated Fraud Trial for Fiat-Chrysler

The June 30 requisition targets 38,000 diesel vehicles accused of test-only NOx compliance ahead of a judge’s ruling on FCA’s challenge.

Le parquet de Paris a requis le 30 juin un quatrième procès pour tromperie dans le scandale du Dieselgate, visant le constructeur Fiat-Chrysler qui conteste "l'intégralité de l'argumentation juridique", après ceux déjà demandés contre Volkswagen, Peugeot-Citroën et Renault
Le parquet de Paris a requis le 30 juin un quatrième procès pour tromperie aggravée à l’encontre du constructeur Fiat, a-t-on appris mercredi 16 juillet 2025 de source proche du dossier.

Overview

  • On June 30 the Paris Public Prosecutor formally requested a fourth trial for aggravated deception against Fiat-Chrysler in its ongoing Dieselgate scandal.
  • The requisition follows allegations that between 2014 and 2017 FCA sold over 38,000 Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Jeep models with Multijet II diesel engines that frequently exceeded NOx emission limits.
  • Prosecutors claim engine calibrations suppressed emissions only during homologation tests and caused pollution controls to degrade during normal driving.
  • Fiat-Chrysler has announced it will contest the prosecutor’s legal arguments as it awaits a judge’s decision on indictment and trial scheduling.
  • Civil parties and consumer groups are demanding full compensation for vehicle owners to address health and environmental harms linked to excess NOx pollution.
