The U.S. Department of Justice reportedly concluded an investigation into luxury vehicle maker Mercedes-Benz Group AG MBGYY related to exhaust emissions without filing charges against the German automaker.
The Stuttgart-based company confirmed the closure of the investigation on Saturday, reported Bloomberg.
The decision marks a significant development in the legal landscape surrounding diesel-related issues.
Renata Jungo Bruengger, a member of Mercedes-Benz’s management board, reportedly emphasized the decision as a crucial milestone toward legal clarity regarding various diesel-related matters.
However, officials from the DOJ refrained from immediate comments, as per the report.
In April 2016, Mercedes-Benz witnessed a notable decline in its shares following the disclosure of the DOJ’s inquiry into its certification and admissions procedures concerning exhaust emissions in the U.S.
Mercedes Benz stock has gained over 2% in the last 12 months.
