| HONESTLY PRINTED DISHONESTY | CATALOG OF ARTISTIC PRACTICES AGAINST DECEPTION, GREED AND POWER | DIESELGATE HIDDEN EMISSIONS | Between 2009 and 2015, more than 11 million diesel cars were sold that emitted into the atmosphere up to a level of nitrogen dioxide 40 times higher than allowed. The multinational responsible for the vehicles had illegally installed software to alter the results of the technical controls for polluting emissions. It is one of the most scandalous examples of dishonesty, which did not stop until it was exposed in 2015.
