Prosecutors said Audi CEO Rupert Stadler was being detained due to concerns he might hinder an ongoing investigation into the emissions scandal. Stadler was arrested early Monday at his Ingolstadt home.
In the wake of a police raid last week on facilities owned by the car manufacturer, which is a luxury car subsidiary of Volkswagen (VW), authorities confirmed that Stadler was under investigation.
