excerpt

Volkswagen will be suspending sales of most if its models in South Korea starting July 25 (today), as pressure mounts for the German automaker over its falsified emissions reporting.

VW is preparing for an environment ministry review this month or in early August on whether to revoke certification of the 32 vehicle types offered for sale through the VW Audi brands, which would lead to a sales ban. The German automaker is due to present its case on July 25.

South Korean prosecutors last month issued the first warrant for the arrest of a VW executive in connection with the emissions scandal.
