Siemens CEO to talk on fraud probe

State prosecutors want to talk to Siemens chief executive Klaus Kleinfeld as part of a probe into suspected fraud at the German industrial conglomerate, a source said.

The source said Kleinfeld would be questioned as a witness rather than someone suspected of wrongdoing.

During a series of recent raids earlier this month, investigators entered the offices of Kleinfeld and numerous employees. “When someone’s office is searched then he would afterwards be questioned as a witness,”the source.
