South Korea said Tuesday it would block sales of 80 VW models and fine the company 17.8 billion won ($16 million) because the carmaker fabricated documents related to emissions and noise-level tests. The German state of Bavaria, where VW’s Audi brand is based, a few hours later announced plans to sue for as much as 700,000 euros ($783,000) over losses at a state pension fund that owns the automaker’s stock.
