You mean like Oliver Schmidt, the VW exec that the USA sentenced to 7 years in federal prison all the way back in 2017 for his part in this scandal? Who was then sent back to Germany in the middle of his sentence and pretty much immediately released on parole by German authorities?
But sure, USA bad or whatever.
- __m 1y agoSo who got put into prison at Jeep, RAM and Dodge (Cummins, FCA)?
- LunaSea 1y agoYou mean an engineer and from a non-US company?
- einsteinx2 1y agoNo I mean an executive (he was running VW’s emissions office in Michigan for 5 years at the time he was arrested and was living in the US), and from the same company and scandal this post is about, convicted by the US 7 years before these recent German convictions. It’s information that is directly relevant the comment I replied to that’s implying that Germany/EU are doing something that the US isn’t based on this specific case.
- LunaSea 1y agoRight, but the US isn't afraid of suing executives and companies from countries it sees as competitors. US companies and executives on the other hand ...
- phendrenad2 1y agoOh wow, you found an example. Bravo!
