Paris (AFP) – French auto giant PSA Group, the maker of Peugeot and Citroen cars, said Thursday its premises had been raided by France’s anti-fraud squad as part of a probe into emissions.

“As part of ongoing investigations on pollutants in the automobile sector, today PSA Group has been the subject of a visit and a seizure by France’s General Directorate for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF),” it said in a statement.

PSA said it was cooperating with the authorities and “confirms compliance of its vehicles in pollutant emissions in all countries where it operates”.
