FRANKFURT--Prosecutors on Monday appealed a regional court
decision acquitting two former top executives of Porsche SE of
alleged market manipulation related to the car maker's unsuccessful
2008 attempt to take over rival Volkswagen AG.
The prosecutors didn't provide more information on the grounds
for appeal. The move could take the legal battle to Germany's
Federal Court, the country's highest court, should the appeal be
accepted.
On Friday, a Stuttgart court found former Chief Executive
Wendelin Wiedeking and former Chief Financial Officer Holger
Haerter not guilty of allegations that they concealed plans to gain
control of Volkswagen in 2008, then shifted strategy when the
attempt went awry after the financial crisis hit.
Prosecutors had urged the court to sentence the two former
managers to jail. They also argued that Porsche SE should pay
penalties of EUR807 million ($907.5 million).
But Judge Frank Maurer found the two former Porsche executives
not guilty, calling the allegations "completely unfounded," and
said the company didn't have to pay penalties.
