[ahlam1399]

BERLIN: Volkswagen AG executive Oliver Schmidt, who is due to be sentenced this week in connection with the carmaker?s emissions scandal, has written to the judge to say he feels ?misused? by the German company. Schmidt pleaded guilty in August in the US District Court in Detroit to wrongdoing connected to a massive diesel emissions scandal that has cost Volkswagen as much as $30 billion. He is due to be sentenced on Dec. 6.?I must say that I feel misused by my own company in the diesel scandal or ?Dieselgate?,? Schmidt wrote to US judge Sean Cox, according to a letter filed in federal court. The letter was originally published by Germany?s Bild am Sonntag newspaper. A Volkswagen spokesman declined to comment, citing the ongoing proceedings.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/World-TheNewsInternational/~4/fGNo2c_54tY
