    VW probed in Sweden

    SWEDEN’S anti-corruption prosecutor announced yesterday the opening of an “aggravated fraud” investigation against German automaker Volkswagen, which has acknowledged rigging its vehicles for environmental emissions tests.

    The investigation will examine diesel models imported to Sweden between 2009 and 2015. These models were equipped with software that minimized emissions during pollution tests, but allowed the vehicles to spew out far more nitrogen oxide while on the road.

    The Swedish inquiry adds to the legal troubles that have mounted worldwide for the manufacturer since the scandal was first revealed Sept. 18.
