奧迪首席執行官被逮捕

German authorities have arrested the chief executive of Volkswagen's Audi division, Rupert Stadler.

He was arrested Monday as part of an investigation about cars Audi sold in Europe that are believed to have been equipped with software that turned emissions controls off during regular driving.

Last week, Munich prosecutors raided Stadler's home on suspicion of fraud and improprieties of documents.

Volkswagen Audi said "the presumption of innocence remains in place for Mr. Stadler."

Volkswagen has pleaded guilty to emissions test cheating in the United States.

CEO Martin Winterkorn was charged in the United States, but he will unlikely face those charges since Germany does not extradite its nationals to countries outside the European Union.德國當局逮捕了大衆汽車集團旗下的奧迪首席執行官魯伯特·施塔德勒。

他的被捕是對奧迪在歐洲銷售汽車進行調查的一部分。據信，這些汽車上安裝了在實際駕駛時可以關閉排放控制的軟件。

上星期，慕尼黑檢察官以涉嫌欺詐和文件處理不當爲由，突襲搜查了施塔德勒的住處。

大衆奧迪說，“無罪推定仍然適用於施塔德勒”。

奧迪已經承認在美國排放測試中作弊。

大衆汽車前執行長馬丁·文德恩（Martin Winterkorn）在美國受到指控，但是他不太可能面臨這些指控，因爲德國不會將其國民引渡到歐盟以外的國家。
