MUNICH, May 3 (Reuters) – Former Audi boss Rupert Stadler is ready to make a confession about his role in the diesel emissions scandal in exchange for a suspended sentence and agreeing to pay money, his defence team said on Wednesday.
The former CEO was charged in 2020 over his role in the scandal after parent group Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) and Audi admitted in 2015 to having used illegal software to cheat on emissions tests.
