Among other things, questions should be clarified whether the Prevent Group demanded "exorbitant prices" from VW and on the other hand it is still unclear to what extent the car manufacturer was allowed to simply break off business relations with the company of the Bosnian investor Nijaz Hastor.

The current situation, which will be negotiated in Braunschweig from February 24th, 2021, had come to a head in 2016 because the two prevention companies ES Guss and Car Trim suspended deliveries to Volkswagen on their own initiative and thus triggered massive consequences, which led to a temporary standstill in six VW factories led.
