Volkswagen Ex-CEO Winterkorn's Diesel Scandal Trial to Restart in February

The trial, delayed due to Winterkorn's injury, will begin anew with 89 hearings scheduled through 2026.

The suspended trial against former VW CEO Martin Winterkorn over the Dieselgate scandal is set to resume in February 2025.
The Braunschweig court has determined that Winterkorn, now 77, is expected to be fit for travel and proceedings by then.
The trial, originally started in September 2024, was postponed after Winterkorn sustained a severe injury requiring hospitalization.
Due to the lengthy delay, the trial must restart from the beginning, including the re-reading of charges and initial statements.
Winterkorn faces accusations of commercial fraud, market manipulation, and false testimony, all of which he denies under the presumption of innocence.
