Senior Fiat Chrysler official indicted in diesel emissions scandal
DETROIT - A senior manager at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is facing a list of federal charges in connection with accusations he purposely falsified diesel emissions results. The indictment claims Parma, a 40-year-old Italian citizen living in Bloomfield Hills, worked as a senior manager of diesel drivability and emissions at FCA from 2010 to 2016. Parma is accused of operating an elaborate scheme to install a "defeat device" in the engines to reduce emissions during testing. Volkswagen had to pay $2 billion in fines for turning off the emissions controls except for when it was tested. FCA's emissions controls worked, but not as well as when the testing was done.
