Porsche offices raided

Prosecutors and 160 police officers were involved. "The three accused consist of one member of Porsche's executive board and one senior manager. The third accused no longer works for Porsche," prosecutors told The Local. While Audi and parent company Volkswagen has clearly been raided before, Porsche has not been targeted in such raids until now.  The Local suspects that the executive board member who prosecutors referred to may be outgoing VW CEO Matthias Mueller, who was the head of Porsche from 2010 to 2015 before replacing Martin Winterkorn at Volkswagen just after the company admitted to cheating on diesel emission tests.  Though his aim was to lead VW out of the scandal, Mueller himself soon came under investigation for allegedly failing to disclose information about the scandal quickly enough to shareholders.  Mueller was himself replaced by Herbert Diess.
