The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said it charged Volkswagen AG, two of its units, and former Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn with defrauding U.S. bond investors.
In a news release issued late Thursday, the SEC said the German auto maker raised billions of dollars through the corporate bond and fixed-income markets, while making a series of deceptive claims about the environmental impact of the company’s “clean diesel” fleet.
