German media reported on Wednesday that a police raid had been launched on Audi offices in connection with the so-called dieselgate emissions cheating scandal. According to Spiegel, Audi headquarters in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, were searched by police on Wednesday morning. More than two million Audis had the manipulation software, including more than half a million in Germany alone. “I can confirm that the prosecutors in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm are present,” an Audi spokesperson told Spiegel, declining to comment further, but adding that the company would “completely cooperate”. A former head of diesel engine development, Ulrich Weiss, has accused Audi boss Rupert Stadler of knowing about the engine manipulation early on.
