In Germany, authorities are investigating a case of fraud involving their Cash for Clunkers program. Reportedly, thousands of cars that were meant to be destroyed were instead sold illegally and used for parts. All companies involved in the program, including car parks where these cars were to be destroyed, are being investigated.
