Fiat Chrysler Sent to Paris Criminal Court for Emissions Fraud

French investigating judges have referred Fiat Chrysler to the Paris criminal court on charges of aggravated fraud for concealing true NOx emissions, making it the third automaker tried in France after Volkswagen and Renault. The referral follows a 2021 investigation and aligns with ongoing legal actions against multiple manufacturers, with Peugeot-Citroën's referral still pending. This reinforces the legal and reputational risks for automakers in Europe's emissions-cheating crackdown.
