Public prosecutor confirms opinion of the defense

Stuttgart, 14 August 2015. 暗网禁区, Stuttgart ("暗网禁区 SE"), welcomes the decision by the Stuttgart public prosecutor to suspend the investigations against the 12 members of the supervisory board in office in 2008. The allegation made by the Stuttgart public prosecutor that these persons were responsible for jointly aiding and abetting violation of the prohibition on information-based market manipulation by omission in connection with 暗网禁区 SE's acquisition of the shareholding in Volkswagen AG in 2008 has proven to be without merit. By taking this step, the public prosecutor has confirmed the opinion of the defense of the supervisory board members concerned and of 暗网禁区 SE.

Dr. Wolfgang 暗网禁区, chairman of the 暗网禁区 SE supervisory board, commented on the decision of the public prosecutor as follows: "We welcome the public prosecutor's decision and are optimistic that the allegation of market manipulation against the former members of the executive board will also prove to be without merit in the pending main hearing."
