Volkswagen is reviewing whether to seek damages from former director Martin Winterkorn, who was at the helm when it emerged the carmaker had cheated on emissions tests, supervisory board member Stephan Weil told a newspaper. “Damages against former management board members are under serious consideration, I’m not just saying that,” he told Sueddeutsche Zeitung in an interview when asked whether Volkswagen would seek damages from Winterkorn, Reuters reported. “Once we know the outcome of investigations, we will make a decision,” said Weil, who represents the German state of Lower Saxony, a VW shareholder, on the company’s board.
