“Toyota takes its legal obligations seriously and works tirelessly to uphold the highest professional and ethical standards. We firmly stand behind the individuals in our legal group and their professional integrity. Toyota believes that the company, and each of the individuals against whom [Dimitrios] Biller has made his unfounded allegations, have acted appropriately. We all intend to vigorously defend against Mr. Biller’s claims.

“In our view, Mr. Biller has intentionally and repeatedly breached his ethical, legal, and professional obligations, and done so for his own personal financial gain. It saddens us that Mr. Biller has sought to tarnish the reputations of individuals in Toyota’s legal department in the process.
