Volkswagen stops sales in South Korea

The Volkswagen Group has announced that from next Monday will make a voluntary stop the sale of 79 models in South Korea, as reported by various German newspapers. "We have decided to suspend sales to limit confusion between dealers and customers," said a spokesman for Volkswagen South Korea, who added that in case of withdrawal, to regain certification of the involved models may take up to three months.

The cause would be found in the will of the South Korean Ministry of Environment to withdraw certification for tens of VW and Audi models. According to the indictment, Volkswagen would have manipulated documents on exhaust gas emissions for the import of car license. In June, a South Korean court had issued an arrest warrant against a Vw manager.
