VW's
U.S. Chief Executive Michael Horn last week blamed "a couple of
software engineers" for installing the software that defeated
emissions tests and said it was not a corporate decision.
Volkswagen declined to comment on the Spiegel report.
Spiegel, citing preliminary results of probes by law firm Jones
Day and Volkswagen itself, said the dozens of managers would be
suspended.
It cited a person familiar with the matter as saying the circle
of those found to have been involved and who knew about the
cheating could widen further.
New VW CEO Matthias Mueller is expected to speak to top
management on Thursday about the current state of the
investigations and the strategic way forward.
