Should the former CEO of VW, Martin Winterkorn, face criminal charges for his role in the emissions scandal?

Mr. Winterkorn could receive severance compensation of up to €60 million. German prosecutors recently opened a probe to determine if Mr. Winterkorn was criminally negligible.

This is not a political question. This is a question of will of the government to discharge its duty to the people. If the evidence bears out that the persons are culpable they should face charges.
