Rupert Stadler road with Volkswagen and Audi

It was, of course, thick in, but now it's official: Former Audi CEO Rupert Stadler leaves at both Audi as Volkswagen.

In June, the former Audi CEO Rupert Stadler was arrested for alleged involvement in the rumble with the emissions of cars with diesel engines. Stadler, who was now already a few months behind bars bivakkeert, will officially not go back to Audi and not Volkswagen.

Volkswagen and Audi put their employment contracts with Stadler stop and that means that Stadler officially not a CEO of Audi, and that, after a possible release also. It is the function of Stadler as chairman of the board of directors of Volkswagen lifted. Stadler is immediately no longer on the payroll at the German companies.

According to the Volkswagen Group leaves Stadler his now former employers because he wants to concentrate on his defense in the criminal case against him. The suspicions that interim CEO Bram Shot tentatively on the throne at Audi, are correctly shown.
