According to a press release distributed by Porsche Automobile Holding SE, investigators from the public prosecutors office in Stuttgart arrived at the headquarters of the company this morning armed with search warrants. They proceeded to search the premises and seized numerous documents.
There is a suspicion of breaching the publication duty as prescribed by the German Stock Corporation Act and furthermore of market manipulation.
So in other words, the Porsche soap opera continues.

It really is remarkable what has happened to a famous German sports car maker.
Wedeking was once Porsche's saviour... and now under investigation for bringing down Porsche (by using the debt to buy VW) in favor of personal gains made during the stock rise in VW.

It doesn't say they are bankrupt. They didn't properly report their financial statements to the German equivalent of the SEC on time. Also appears as though they may have made misleading statements regarding the health of the company or they may have possibly violated German rules rules regarding insider trading.

Luxury carmaker Porsche came very close to bankruptcy in March. Only a dramatic rescue operation saved the company, but it's still on the skids.
They had piles of debt from trying to buy VW then the economy crashed & they coudn't continue to pay their bills....Porsche has a sales decrease of 51.6 % YTD All this lead to VW buying them up.....
