Frankfurt, Germany: Former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn will go on trial in September for his role in the carmaker's emissions-cheating scandal, a German court said Friday, nine years after the saga began.
The German auto giant was plunged into crisis after admitting in 2015 it had installed software to rig emissions levels in 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide.
Winterkorn, 76, had originally been due to stand trial for fraud several years ago but the case was postponed indefinitely due to his poor health.
A regional court in the city of Brunswick said it had now decided to combine two cases against the former chief executive, one on suspicion of fraud and making false statements and a second on market manipulation.
The trial will begin on September 3, said the court, which is close to VW's headquarters in Wolfsburg.
