據(jù)彭博社報(bào)道,針對四名大眾公司前高管在“排放門”丑聞中的不當(dāng)行為,本周一德國法院作出判決,部分緩期執(zhí)行。
2015年9月,大眾承認(rèn)對數(shù)百萬輛柴油車動(dòng)手腳以通過污染測試,此后這一丑聞在全球汽車行業(yè)持續(xù)引發(fā)震蕩。
彭博社報(bào)道稱,大眾前高管海因茨-雅各布?諾伊瑟被不倫瑞克法院判處一年零三個(gè)月,緩刑執(zhí)行。
據(jù)德國媒體報(bào)道,傳動(dòng)系統(tǒng)電子部門前負(fù)責(zé)人漢諾?杰爾登被判處入獄兩年零七個(gè)月。
柴油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)開發(fā)部門前負(fù)責(zé)人延斯?哈德勒獲刑最重,刑期四年零六個(gè)月,第四名被告則被判處一年零十個(gè)月緩刑。
被告均可對判決提出上訴。
大眾前首席執(zhí)行官馬丁?溫特科恩因健康問題,仍處于中止審理狀態(tài)。
汽車行業(yè)分析師,汽車研究中心負(fù)責(zé)人費(fèi)迪南德?杜登霍費(fèi)爾認(rèn)為,此案最終就是“找些替罪羊頂罪以及部分緩刑”。
大眾在聲明中強(qiáng)調(diào),“不倫瑞克法院的訴訟僅針對個(gè)人”,判決 “對大眾涉及的丑聞相關(guān)民事案件不會(huì)產(chǎn)生重大影響”。
被判有罪的四人從2021年開始受審,剛開始與溫特科恩同案審理。
由于溫特科恩因健康問題無法出庭,法院決定分案處理。
這位前汽車高管最終于去年9月受審,但10月因其不適宜出庭作證再度中止。
目前丑聞中獲刑的最高級前高管是奧迪前首席執(zhí)行官魯伯特·施泰德。
2023年他承認(rèn)過失欺詐,被罰款并判處緩刑。
今年2月,法國檢方也要求以嚴(yán)重欺詐罪起訴大眾公司。
法國檢方表示,丑聞曝光后近百萬法國客戶被迫承擔(dān)了維修費(fèi)用。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

A German court on Monday convicted and handed prison sentences, some suspended, to four former Volkswagen managers over their part in the “dieselgate” emissions-cheating scandal, Bloomberg reported.
The scandal has caused waves in the global car industry since September 2015, when Volkswagen admitted tampering with millions of diesel vehicles to dupe pollution tests.
Former VW executive Heinz-Jakob Neusser received a suspended jail term of one year and three months from the court in the city of Braunschweig, according to news agency Bloomberg.
The former head of drive electronics, named only as Hanno J., was given a sentence of two years and seven months, German media reported.
The heaviest sentence of four years and six months was given to the former head of diesel motor development, Jens H., while the fourth defendant was given a suspended sentence of one year and 10 months.
The defendants can appeal against the rulings.
The separate trial of former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn remains suspended because of his ill health.
Auto sector analyst Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, head of the Center Automotive Research, judged that the case had for now ended “with scapegoats and, in some cases, suspended sentences”.
Volkswagen said in a statement that the “proceedings in the court in Braunschweig are against individuals” and that they had “no significant consequences for the cases before the civil courts that Volkswagen is involved in” related to the scandal.
The four found guilty on Monday, who have been on trial since 2021, were initially set to have their cases heard alongside that of Winterkorn.
But the court decided to split off proceedings against Winterkorn, who was unable to appear because of ill health.
The former auto executive finally went on trial in September before the court again suspended proceedings in October, when he was not fit to take the stand.
The highest-ranking former executive to have been convicted in the scandal so far is former Audi CEO Rupert Stadler.
He was was fined and given a suspended sentence in 2023 after admitting to fraud by negligence.
In February, prosecutors in France called for Volkswagen to face charges of aggravated fraud there too.
They said nearly one million French customers had to pay for servicing and repairs after the emissions breach was revealed.
