The DGCCRF
investigation, part of a wider probe carried out in the wake of
the Volkswagen <VOWG_p.DE> diesel test-cheating scandal, "did
not bring to light any evidence of fraud", the government agency
said in a statement.
The watchdog has previously sent files to prosecutors detailing
suspected emissions fraud by Fiat Chrysler, Renault and PSA
Group.
PSA, the maker of Peugeot and Citroen cars, agreed earlier this
month to buy Opel in a deal valuing the business at 2.2 billion
euros ($2.3 billion).
