Volkswagen brand chief says no plans to step down despite investigation
Volkswagen's brand chief, Herbert Diess, is not planning to resign even though he is the subject of investigation by public prosecutors, he told a German newspaper. "It&039;s not up for debate," Diess told Sueddeutsche Zeitung in an interview published on Monday, when asked if he had thought about stepping down as a result of the probe. Volkswagen&039;s reputation will take 12-18 months to recover from the crisis, although a strategic turnaround will take up to 14 years, Diess added.
