South Korea Raids Volkswagen Office

South Korean prosecutors raided the local offices of Volkswagen Friday as part of their investigation into an emissions-cheating scandal.

Investigators seized computer hard drives and documents from VW’s headquarters in Seoul and from the home of at least one senior manager.

A VW spokesman told the French News Agency: “We have made clear that we will fully cooperate with the investigation.”

The auto company is facing a slew of legal actions after it admitted in September to falsifying emission test results on some of its diesel-engine vehicles in the U.S.  Other countries later began their own investigations.
