> We knew this was coming. When one time Toyota lawyer Dimitrios Biller filed a [federal racketeering suit](http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/31/report-toyota-accused-of-ruthless-conspiracy-to-conceal-dest/) alleging that the Japanese automaker withheld evidence in several rollover suits, it was pretty obvious that lawyers would want to reopen past suits in light of the claims. Biller’s suit alleges that Toyota withheld electronic evidence (emails) in over 300 rollover cases, and it states that evidence was destroyed by the company in spite of his efforts to secure the data. The suit also alleges that Toyota withheld design and test data for vehicle roofs, and that some vehicles on the road today don’t meet roof safety standards.

> **Toyota Accused of Hiding Evidence**
> 
> former attorney for Toyota has accused the automaker of illegally withholding evidence in hundreds of rollover death and injury cases, in a “ruthless conspiracy” to keep evidence “of its vehicles’ structural shortcomings from becoming known.”
> 
> The explosive allegations are contained in a federal racketeering suit filed in Los Angeles by Dimitrios P. Biller, former managing counsel for Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc., who claims his complaints about the company’s legal misconduct cost him his job.
