Dieselgate continues: The first state of the plaintiff VW

It is a 'budgetary commitment' for the state to sue Volkswagen.

How to explains a spokesperson from the ministry of finance in Baden-Württemberg, that you have decided to take action against the car giant. The German state has reportedly spent a great part of the VW group diesel cars as tjenestekøretøjer, patrol cars, and the like, which has been shown to be involved in the rampant dieselskandale.
