[THE INVESTOR] Former managing director of Volkswagen Korea Park Dong-hoon, was resummoned by prosecutors on July 8 over the German carmaker’s alleged irregularities following last year’s emissions scandal.
Park appeared before the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office in the afternoon to be questioned over his alleged involvement in the company’s cheating on emissions tests by using so-called defeat device software.
He declined to comment on any of the questions asked by reporters before entering the prosecutors’ office.
The 63-year-old was first summoned on July 5 as a material witness, but his status changed to that of a suspect following the questioning.
Park headed VW as the managing director from 2005, when it was first established here, to 2013, before moving to Renault Samsung Motors. He has been heading the local branch of the French automaker as the first South Korean CEO since April.
Prosecutors said they will soon summon Johannes Thammer, the current chief of the automaker’s South Korean unit.
