German prosecutors today named Volkswagen’s former Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn as a suspect in a fraud investigation as they widened their probe into a diesel emissions-cheating scandal, alleging that Mr. Winterkorn may have known about the issue earlier than he acknowledged. Prosecutors launched the probe on Sept. 28, 2015, after U.S. authorities disclosed Volkswagen’s emissions-cheating. Initially, Mr. Winterkorn was named as a suspect, but prosecutors retracted his name three days later. The announcement reinstates him as a suspect based on new evidence.
