Audi fined 700m over diesel emissions scandal

Audi has been fined €800m (£700m) to settle an investigation by German prosecutors into breaches of diesel emissions rules.

The premium car brand, owned by Volkswagen, said it "accepts the fine and ... admits its responsibility".

In June, VW agreed a €1bn settlement in Germany over the emissions scandal, which came to light in 2015.

Audi, whose ex-boss Rupert Stadler is being investigated over "dieselgate", said affected cars spanned 2004-18.
