BERLIN (Reuters) -German prosecutors are investigating two Mercedes-Benz employees for suspected corruption and conducted searches late last week at the carmaker's factory in Sindelfingen as part of their investigation, the Bild newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Authorities seized a mobile phone and a computer during the searches at the plant southwest of Stuttgart, the report said.
The company confirmed to Reuters that the search had taken place.
