General Motors Statement on its Petition for a Writ of Mandamus in RICO Lawsuit Against FCA and Other Defendants
General Motors has played a vital role in helping the country fight the COVID-19 pandemic, advance diversity, and inclusion, and drive prosperity with good-paying jobs. Nothing, including the RICO lawsuit we filed against FCA and three convicted former FCA executives, has or will distract GM and its leadership team from “fully providing their vision and leadership” on these critical issues now and into the future. And we reject the notion that seeking justice for the direct harm caused to GM is a “waste of time,” a “distraction” or a “diversion.” Justice is worth pursuing in all its facets and any forums.
