德国“时代周报”Die Zeit的报导,因为柴油引擎排放造假疑云,
德国大城“斯图加”的检方开始对奔驰多名涉案员工展开调查。

“斯图加”检方发言人Jan Holzner证实,他们正在调查多名奔驰员工,
因为这些员工可能涉嫌“诈欺”以及“广告不实”。不过他拒绝进一步评论相关细节。
奔驰发言人回应说,“针对斯图加检方启动调查一事,奔驰对此毫无所悉。”
但检方启动调查消息一出,奔驰股价随即下跌。

Jan Holzner, a spokesman for the Stuttgart prosecutors, said Daimler
employees are being probed for possible fraud and false advertising but
declined to comment on the details.
Joerg Howe, a spokesman for the Stuttgart-based manufacturer, said Daimler
isn’t aware that prosecutors are investigating employees.
◇德国三地检方 兵分多路 打击不法
目前德国有三个城市的检方,正在兵分多路,各自调查VW, Audi, 奔驰, Bosch的柴油
造假案。他们要揪出不法人士,将这些车界败类绳之以法。
1. 德国Braunschweig市的检方正在调查VW柴油造假案,先前他们已经传讯VAG大众集团
前董事长Ferdinand Piech。
当时Piech向检方供称,大众集团最高董监会,里面有多名董事成员早就知道自家柴油
引擎有造假。
Piech的证词也戳破VAG前CEO及其他多位高层人士的谎言,2015年爆发造假案后,
VAG声称柴油造假案,这些高层事先并不知情。

2. 德国“慕尼黑”检方在上星期无预警突袭搜索Audi,同时间也搜索VAG所雇用的
Jones Day律师事务所,针对诈欺案搜索相关事证。
为此,大众集团气炸了,并扬言可能要对慕尼黑检方提告。
VAG说,如果慕尼黑检方有在Jones Day律师事务所找到VAG的新罪证,
他们可能会提起“证据无效之诉”,如果他们认为检方在搜索过程中有违反法律之处的话
。
3. 德国“斯图加”原本就在调查Bosch涉嫌参与柴油造假案的罪证。
现在斯图加检方再接再励,对奔驰展开调查。

奔驰总部位于德国“斯图加”,
2016年大批民众参加示威游行,抗议当地空气污染严重,政府失职无能。
German prosecutors in three cities are now targeting German automakers
over diesel-emission issues. Officials in Braunschweig have been investigating
Volkswagen employees for almost two years amid the world’s biggest automotive
scandal. Munich prosecutors last week raided offices of Volkswagen's Audi unit
and also opened a fraud probe into the luxury brand.
Stuttgart prosecutors have been investigating since December 2015 whether
employees at auto supplier Robert Bosch GmbHparticipated in the manipulations.
The Daimler probe is their second case over the issue.
.....
Volkswagen was not happy to hear that investigators raided the offices of
the law firm it hired for an internal review.
.....
.....
If the investigators did find incriminating evidence in their search,
but lacked the proper warrants and approvals, the German conglomerate could
have a shot of dismissing the evidence in court.
◇奔驰柴油引擎的废气排放问题
去年初TNO“荷兰应用科学研究院”这个半官方的研究机构发现,奔驰有几款柴油引擎
在低气温的环境下,会自动关闭EGR污染防治装置,使得NOx排放量大增,
造成严重的空气污染。
“天气热,还没事;天气冷,就破功”
在气温低于10度时,某些奔驰柴油引擎的废气,最严重的会超过欧盟标准的40倍,
也就是美国排放标准的65倍。

◇德国“斯图加”的空气污染严重超标
奔驰总部所在地,德国“斯图加”的空气污染很严重,它是全德国NOx污染情况最严重的
城市之一。
因为空气污染严重超标,市民苦不堪言,今年1月,德国“斯图加”市长Fritz Kuhn
还被两位市民告上法院,理由是市长失职,空气污染严重,伤害民众身体健康并导致死亡
。
Jallow and her neighbour Peter Erben.....lodged a criminal complaint on
23 January against the city's mayor, Fritz Kuhn
The complaint accuses the officials on two counts:
bodily injury with death as a consequence (due to air pollution),
and lack of assistance.
“斯图加”空气中PM10悬浮微粒污染严重超标,空气品质专家,斯图加大学系主任
Ulrich Vogt博士认为“柴油车废气、车辆的煞车和轮胎磨耗粉尘”是PM10空污的三大主因
。
"Combustion residues, mainly from diesel engines, as well as the abrasion
of brakes and tyres, are the main reasons for these high PM10 values,"
says Dr Ulrich Vogt, head of the Department of Air Quality Control at
Stuttgart University.

“德不孤,必有邻”,21世纪新解。
如果有一家德国车厂因为柴油造假风暴而遭到司法起诉,他不会感到孤单,
之后会有第二家德国车厂陪伴他。
