Volkswagen went on trial on Monday to face investors seeking $10.6 billion in compensation. They are arguing the carmaker should have informed shareholders earlier about its diesel pollution scandal. Reuters reports that shareholders representing 1,670 claims are seeking compensation for a slide in Volkswagen’s share price triggered by the scandal. It broke in September 2015 and has cost the firm 27.4 billion euros in penalties and fines so far.
