According to major foreign media reports, the Frankfurt prosecutors in Germany conducted raids on eight local offices of Hyundai and Kia in Germany and Luxembourg on the 28th (local time). The German prosecutors stated in a press release that the companies are suspected of distributing more than 210,000 diesel vehicles equipped with illegal emission manipulation devices.
