Advocate General: VW may not be penalized twice

According to Advocate General Campos Sánchez-Bordona at the European Court of Justice (ECJ), VW may not be punished twice because of the diesel scandal. The group had sold 10.7 million diesel vehicles worldwide with test bench detection and the possibility of exhaust gas manipulation. For this, VW paid a fine of €1 billion in proceedings before a court in Brunswick.
