Volkswagen to pay $6mn compensation for collaborating with Brazil dictatorship

German carmaker Volkswagen has agreed to pay over $6 million in compensation to former workers who were affected by its collaboration with Brazil's dictatorship during 1964-1985. A probe found that Volkswagen helped the dictatorship identify suspected "subversives" and trade unionists, who were then detained and tortured. Workers sued the carmaker five years ago over human rights violations.
