BERLIN (AP) - Former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn, who resigned in the face of the company's emissions-rigging scandal, is now the focus of German prosecutors.
The prosecutors say the investigation will concentrate on the suspicion of fraud committed through the sale of vehicles with manipulated emissions data and try to establish who was responsible.
Volkswagen AG's upmarket Audi brand says 2.1 million of its vehicles also are affected by the emissions-rigging scandal.
Meanwhile, a European environmental organization says some new models of Mercedes, Volkswagens, BMWs and other new cars are burning much more gasoline than lab tests claim.
The group Transport & Environment says there's no proof the cars are equipped with the same sort of "defeat devices" used in the emissions-rigging scandal.
