FRANKFURT — Volkswagen has suspended its top quality-control executive, a person close to the company said on Tuesday, as the company’s widening emissions scandal is sidelining some of the carmaker’s most seasoned managers.
The executive, Frank Tuch, 48, Volkswagen’s head of quality control, is the fifth in a high-ranking post to be suspended in connection with revelations that 11 million Volkswagen vehicles were equipped with software designed to trick emissions tests. Mr. Tuch’s suspension was reported last week by Bild, a German newspaper.
