Audi CEO Arrested

Audi chief executive Rupert Stadler was detained this morning, according to parent company Volkswagen.

A VW spokesman told Reuters:

“We confirm that Mr Stadler was arrested this morning. The hearing to determine whether he will be remanded is ongoing.”

The arrest comes a week after prosecutors raided Stadler’s apartment, as they widened the investigation into how Volkswagen used ‘cheat software’ in its cars to trick emissions tests.

Last month, Audi admitted that another 60,000 A6 and A7 models with diesel engines have emission software issues -- further deepening a scandal that began in 2015.
