Fiat Chrysler shares volatile after France refers emissions case to prosecutor

Shares in Fiat Chrysler were volatile in early trade on Tuesday after French investigators referred the carmaker for possible prosecution over abnormal emissions of nitrogen oxide pollutants from some of its diesel engines.
