DETROIT -- A Volkswagen manager, who is currently behind bars in the U.S. in relation to the company's involvement in an emissions scandal, will plead guilty in an upcoming court hearing, it was announced Tuesday. Eight managers from the VW group are now facing charges by U,S, authorities for the company's breach of emissions regulations. Earlier in July the Justice Department charged Giovanni Pamio, a former manager from Audi, a Volkswagen subsidiary, with directing employees to design emission-cheating software. James Liang, a VW employee who pleaded guilty to misleading regulators, will be sentenced on August 25. He pleaded guilty in October to a charge of conspiracy and has been cooperating with authorities while awaiting sentencing.
