The interim report on the Volkswagen investigation is in. Investigators state the emission cheating took place because Volkswagen simply couldn’t find a solution to meet EPA regulations. Multiple representatives from VW are suspended for participating in the act of installing the devices.

A New Movie In The Works

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson have started producing a new movie, which will focus on Volkswagen clean diesel scandal. Norton purchased the publishing rights for the book proposal for a price in the mid-six figures, and the movie rights were purchased by Liz Raposo of Paramount Pictures.
