The Volkswagen Group has already spent € 1.77 billion on the costs of consultancy and lawyers for diesel fuel.
Handelsblatt reports that € 1.77 billion includes legal costs for all brands in the Group, including the Audi and Porsche brands, as confirmed by the Volkswagen spokesman.
The Group 's legal costs related to diesel diesel are expected to continue to rise as many investigations and procedures are still ongoing.
The Volkswagen Group achieved a profit of EUR 3.02 billion in the first quarter of this year, down from EUR 3.3 billion in the first quarter of last year. The lower costs also contributed greatly to the legal costs incurred and accounted for during the quarter in the diesel industry.
