German prosecutors say that from September 2015, Stadler knowingly continued selling affected cars from Audi, especially in Europe and the US

German prosecutors said Wednesday they had charged former Audi CEO Rupert Stadler with fraud over the VW subsidiary's role in the “dieselgate” emissions cheating scandal.

The charges are linked to more than 430,000 VW, Audi and Porsche cars fitted with “defeat devices” to fool regulators' emissions tests. Stadler found out “at the latest in September 2015”, when VW admitted to selling 11-million cheating vehicles worldwide after a US investigation. Porsche and VW cars fitted with cheating engines from the high-end subsidiary also continued rolling out of dealerships.Sprawling 12-brand group VW has so far been hit with over €30bn of costs relating to dieselgate, much of it for fines, buybacks and compensation payouts in the US.
