The Organization of Consumers and Users of Spain (OCU) today filed a class action suit before a Spanish court against Volkswagen-Audi Group, which will demand financial compensation for those affected by fraud emissions.
in this demand totaled more than 4,000 affected in order to achieve a reconciliation with the German group for which conform to the claims that are made from the OCU, the organization said in a statement .
late last year Volkswagen admitted that between 2009 and 2015 installed in diesel vehicles US a computer system that allowed bypass emission controls when the car was subjected to the tests of control, trucaje that affected more than ten million cars worldwide.
the OCU claims that the German car company should recognize the facts alleged, repair vehicles within a period not exceeding one month and compensate those affected with an amount not less than 2,000 euros (about $ 2,212 at current exchange rates).
“in the event that the manufacturer decides to remain deaf to the requests of those affected will be then the courts who will decide whether deceived consumers are entitled to some compensation as they have received those affected by this scandal in the US, “said the Spanish organization.
last June, the German company arrived an agreement with the administration and US consumers by which he pledged to disburse 14,700 million, 10,033 million as compensation to owners of cars and 4,700 to the environmental authorities to mitigate the effects caused by illegal emissions.
The OCU also stressed in the statement that the Volkswagen-Audi group refused to compensate those affected by a “negligent” behavior and delayed “unjustifiably deadlines for repairs”.
