Looking for help with its emission scandal, Volkswagen is reportedly planning to hire former FBI Director Louis Freeh.

The automaker wants Freeh to deal with investigators who are probing the alleged manipulation of diesel-emissions test, Fox Business reports. 

Freeh currently operates a risk management group called Freeh Group International Solutions.

Interestingly, Freeh wouldn’t be the only former FBI director involved in the case. Robert Mueller, who served 12 years at the helm before retiring in 2013 has been named the “settlement master” to deal with 500 lawsuits against the company.

The Justice has accused Volkswagen of violating the Clean Air Act and is seeking as much as $46 million in a suit against the automaker.
