Defence lawyer Philipp Gehrmann on Monday said "the verdict is incorrect," hours after it was announced at the Braunschweig Regional Court. Gehrmann said his client's sentence of two years and seven months in prison overshot the mark. The massive case dates back to September 2015, when it was discovered in the United States that Volkswagen had installed software in its diesel cars to cheat on emissions tests. The so-called "defeat devices" meant that the cars complied with nitrogen oxide limits during test conditions, but not when actually driven out on the road.
