VW Communications Chief Expected to Resign Later on Wednesday - Sources

BERLIN, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Volkswagen's communications chief Stephan Gruehsem is expected to step down later on Wednesday, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Gruehsem, head of group communications, external and investor relations at Wolfsburg-based VW, has worked for almost two decades with Martin Winterkorn who quit as chief executive last Wednesday over a diesel emissions scandal that has hammered the company.
