Renault charged with diesel deceit by French investigators
The charges spring from a judicial investigation opened in early 2017, days after VW settled criminal and civil complaints with the US, pleading guilty to conspiracy to defraud the government and obstruction of justice. File Picture: Denis Scannell
French investigators have charged Renault with deceiving on emissions in ongoing fallout from the diesel scandal that erupted when Volkswagen admitted to cheating tests almost six years ago.
Renault must make a €20m payment and provide a €60m bank guarantee to cover potential damages, fines and compensation for losses, the company said on Tuesday night.
