Former Audi chief executive Rupert Stadler
Former Audi chief executive Rupert Stadler has been given a 21-month suspended sentence and a fine for fraud and negligence in the 2015 diesel emissions scandal.
He is the first top manager to be tried and convicted as part of Dieselgate.
German carmaker Volkswagen and its Audi subsidiary admitted at the time to using cheat software so their cars appeared less polluting in tests.
Stadler was not accused of ordering the use of emissions cheating software, but did admit to not doing enough to stop the scam and halt sales of cars affected.
