Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA)
is suspected of obstructing the French probe related to the
Dieselgate scandal on car emissions, Le Monde reported on
Monday. The French newspaper reported the Italian-American
carmaker showed "reticence to cooperate with the anti-fraud
services between May 2016 and January 2017".
FCA declined to comment on the charges Monday, but FCA France
said "we are collaborating and we shall continue to do so".
In June FCA chief Sergio Marchionne said a US probe into Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles diesel emissions will not impact accounts,
saying second-quarter results were in line with expectations and
2017 targets were confirmed. Speaking at an Italy-USA forum in
Venice, he also confirmed the goals of the company's business
plan covering 2018. FCA has a swift solution ready to resolve
the dispute over its diesel emissions, FCA lawyers told a San
Francisco federal judge in May, referring to modifications
proposed to the Environmental Protection Agency and the
California Air Resources Agency.
