http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/20/breaking-porsche-offices-reportedly-raided-on-suspicion-of-stoc/ said: The soap opera surrounding Volkswagen AG and Porsche has just taken a turn for the legal, as Bloomberg reports that the company's German offices have been raided by prosecutors who are investigating whether the automaker has violated security laws. The German prosecutor's office seized documents amidst the allegations of stock price manipulation and insider trading, prompting Porsche to issue a statement denying the allegations while vowing complete cooperation (available after the jump). The probe stems from the sports car maker's attempt to gain control of parent Volkswagen, and the investigation is reportedly focusing on recently departed CEO Wendelin Wiedeking as well as ex-CFO Holger Haerter. As you may recall, Porsche had tried to take over VW back in May, but that maneuver failed because of the company's swirling debt and a veto on the action by Lower Saxony. Porsche has since been swallowed up by the very company it was once seeking to take over, with an additional stake going to Qatar investors.

Bet Qatar is REALLY interested in this story...
I wonder if people are still pissed about the short squize porsche put on the VW stock a few years ago.
I think the raid answers that question pretty clearly haha.
are they being investigated only in Europe?
How will this affect my check engine light?
Per, I think it means that from now on, Porsches will come standard with a persistent Check Engine light just like modern VWs!
My wife's 02 Cabrio has had the light on so many times and for so long that I've considered taking out the panel and creating one that has the word "ON" in place of the Check Engine light, so that the familiar little yellow light just means the car is running.

You can still warm your hands on it, just like before.
