Frankfurt, Cologne In the multi-billion dollar VW investor trial, the Braunschweig Higher Regional Court decided to enter the hearing of evidence. The court announced on Friday that 86 witnesses and a large number of documents, which had to be submitted by those involved or requested by third parties, were intended to provide information about the processes that took place before the diesel scandal became known almost eight years ago.
The decision includes 85 questions of evidence.
