BERLIN – Continental replaces Wolfgang Schäfer as Chief Financial Officer after an investigation by the public prosecutor into the illegal use of defeat devices in diesel engines.

In an extraordinary meeting, the supplier supervisory board decided and agreed that CEO Nikolai Setzer will take over Schäfer’s duties.

“These changes have been made within the framework of the already known investigations by the Hanover public prosecutor’s office into the illegal use of defeat devices in diesel engines and deficiencies in the ongoing investigations by Continental,” said Continental on Wednesday.

As part of an investigation into the exhaust gas cheating devices of the Volkswagen Group, the company locations in Hanover and Regensburg were searched last year.
