Swiss Journalist Takes Aim at VW Bosses: "Morally Deprived Manager Caste"

VW Bosses Accused of Moral Deprivation

In a scathing report, Swiss journalist Reto Minder has accused Volkswagen bosses of being a "morally deprived manager caste" who have "lost all sense of decency and shame."

VW's Culture of Corruption and Greed

Minder's report, published in the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger, alleges that VW's top executives have created a culture of corruption and greed that has led to the company's recent emissions scandal.

He claims that VW managers have been deliberately misleading customers and regulators about the true nature of the company's diesel engines, which have been found to emit far more pollutants than legally allowed.

VW Bosses Must Be Held Accountable

Minder calls for VW's top executives to be held accountable for their actions, saying that they have "damaged the company's reputation beyond repair" and "betrayed the trust of millions of customers."

VW Scandal Damages Germany's Reputation

The VW scandal has not only damaged the company's reputation but also Germany's reputation as a whole, Minder writes.

He says that the scandal has shown that "Germany's corporate culture is in need of urgent reform" and that "the country's leaders must take action to prevent similar scandals from happening in the future."
