Report: Audi under German criminal investigation over diesel scandal

Audi-sign

Volkswagen isn't the only company under fire for dieselgate. Now Audi — the Volkswagen Group's luxury brand — is under scrutiny, too. Specifically, German prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into the high-end carmaker in its hometown of Ingolstadt.

According to Bloomberg, investigators are specifically looking for individuals responsible for the VW Group's emissions-cheating software included on the group's 2.0-liter diesel engines, which affeced as many as 2.1 million Audis world-wide. So far, however, prosecutors have not identified any suspects.
