Mercedes Says DOJ Ended Diesel Probe Without Filing Charges.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has concluded its investigation into Mercedes-Benz Group AG regarding exhaust emissions and will not be filing charges against the German carmaker. Mercedes-Benz confirmed the closure of the probe and stated that this decision is a significant step towards legal certainty in relation to various diesel proceedings. In 2016, the company's shares dropped when the DOJ requested a review of its certification and admissions process following a class-action lawsuit alleging violations of emissions standards, which Mercedes-Benz deemed as baseless.
