San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/08/2017 -- An investigation was announced on behalf of consumers who purchased or leased a Volkswagen AG (ADR) (OTCMKTS:VLKAY).

Consumers who purchased or leased a Volkswagen from a Dealership from Volkswagen AG (ADR) (OTCMKTS:VLKAY), have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call 858-779-1554.

The investigation by a law firm focuses on whether certain statements by Volkswagen AG (ADR) (OTCMKTS:VLKAY) regarding its business, its prospects and its operations were materially false and misleading at the time they were made.

On July 25, 2017, a lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Porsche AG, Volkswagen AG, Audi AG, BMW AG, and Mercedes-Benz USA, alleging violations of federal antitrust laws.

Specifically, the complaint alleges that since 2006, the carmakers conspired "to share commercially-sensitive information and reach unlawful agreements" in order "to impose a German automobile premium on consumers premised on superior German engineering, while secretly stunting incentives to innovate."

Then on July 28, 2017, a similar complaint was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and another complaint was filed in the District of New Jersey.

Those who purchased shares of Volkswagen AG (ADR) (OTCMKTS:VLKAY) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
