After blaming China for having spied on its electric car making technique, Renault has now said that it is not going to participate in the 'escalating' matters surrounding the issue. It said that its staying away can be justified because it has already filed a criminal case saying that it is a victim in the so called industrial espionage.

The filing was done on Thursday against an unnamed person. In the filing, the car maker has also asked for the launch of a formal case and requested that the French secret service should be a part of it. Patrick Pélata, chief operating officer had said last week that an organized international network had spied on the technology of the company. There was some 'international interest' behind this and said that the suspicion fell on Chinese companies.
