Ky.’s AG sues VW

FRANKFORT, Ky.

Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear sued Volkswagen on Tuesday, claiming the German automaker’s diesel-emissions cheating scheme violated the state’s consumer- protection law.

The lawsuit, filed in a state court, seeks civil penalties potentially totaling millions of dollars, plus restitution for the owners of nearly 3,800 vehicles registered in Kentucky, Beshear said.

“We have a very strong law that is meant to prevent companies like this ... from making an outright lie that they then use to sell what’s a pretty expensive product,” Beshear said at a state Capitol news conference.
