Stadler exits Audi amid ongoing ‘dieselgate’ crisis
BY JUSTIN HILLIARD | 9th Oct 2018
- Audi AG has last week announced two key departures from its board of management, with chairman Rupert Stadler and technical development chief Peter Mertens both leaving the German prestige car-maker.
- Mr Stadler has been in pre-trial detention since June over his alleged role in the ongoing ‘dieselgate’ emissions-cheating scandal, and has now had his contract with the supervisory boards of both the Volkswagen Group and Audi AG terminated “with immediate effect”.
