Volkswagen has been caught up in several corporate scandals over the past quarter century, but none had the potential to taint the German carmaker’s products.
1987
In March that year, the company shocked the markets by announcing it was taking a 480m Deutsche mark provision, equivalent to £160m, to cover losses it incurred as the victim of a foreign exchange fraud — almost halving its annual profits.
This scandal, which led to an international manhunt for the fraudsters, caused VW shares to plunge almost a third and forced the German government to postpone plans to sell a 16 per cent stake in the carmaker. The government had planned to use proceeds from the stake to help finance the nation’s budget deficit.
After a seven-month search, FBI agents arrested a foreign exchange broker from Frankfurt wanted in connection with the fraud, having tracked him to an apartment in Hollywood.
2005
State prosecutors opened an investigation into allegations of bribery involving a senior VW executive — a case that quickly became known as the perks and prostitution scandal.
Peter Hartz, personnel director of the carmaker at the time, was eventually given a two-year suspended sentence in 2007 for breach of trust over his role in a bribery scheme. It involved payments to members of the company’s powerful works council, who were also entertained on lavish all expenses paid foreign trips, which included sex parties with prostitutes.
Mr Hartz was a close friend and adviser to Gerhard Schröder, the former chancellor.
In the same year, VW was also caught up in a corruption scandal in India when a senior executive promised to build a factory in the Andhra Pradesh state in return for a €2m payment.
2006
Volkswagen was embroiled in a wider auto industry corruption scandal after executives at some carmakers were accused of taking bribes from suppliers.
This scandal led to the resignation of the executive chairman of Faurecia, a French automotive components maker, after Bernd Pischetsrieder, VW chief executive at the time, threatened to sever ties with the company.
2009
Porsche headquarters were raided as part of an investigation into alleged market manipulation by the company’s executives during a failed takeover of VW that dated back to 2005.
Porsche built a stake in its much-larger rival by using a contentious options strategy, which distorted the price of VW’s ordinary shares over a four-year period.
In the end, the takeover attempt failed and almost bankrupted Porsche — forcing the smaller sports car maker to agree to a merger with VW.
