本期内容：
The Volkswagen emissions-test scandal smouldered on. German prosecutors 1 expanded the number of employees under investigation 2 to 17, though they have yet to find firm evidence that senior executives knew about the rigged software in diesel 3 cars that yielded false test readings. French authorities opened a formal inquiry 4 into “aggravated fraud”. Michael Horn, VW’s chief in America, where the scandal started, resigned.
