Audi’s Chief executive Rupert Stadler has been forced to reimburse Volkswagen who originally paid for a private party hosted by Audi.

Rupert Stadler will have to pay back 12,500 euros that was expensed as a ‘beer contest’ with 30 different managers in 2015. The event was reclassified as a private party after it underwent an internal review.

With expenses being heavily debated in Germany, as it is believed executives enjoy too many opportunities to pay for private luxuries, this comes as no surprise. As Volkswagen is going to be spending billions in order to pay for the emissions scandal it is no surprise that company executives are being made to pay back expenses for private parties given the scale of the ongoing emission scandal.

Audi Emissions Scandal

Audi is one of the UK’s premium vehicle suppliers and is a part of the Volkswagen Group, meaning they are affected by the emissions scandal. Audi was originally four car companies that merged together, and was bought by Volkswagen who merged the company with another in to what is now: Audi AG.

As part of the Volkswagen group it has meant that certain Audi diesel vehicles have been affected by the car emissions scandal. Some 393,450 Audi vehicles have been affected by the defeat device and are being recalled.

The ongoing emissions scandal

We’re acting for thousands of Audi owners affected by the scandal. Between 2009 and 2015 Volkswagen installed ‘defeat devices’ which was software that cheated emissions testing, making the cars appear better for the environment. The software allowed the cars to pass the emissions tests by knowing when to switch the emission control software on during testing. When the car was not being tested, the software was switched off and the cars emitted nitrogen oxide up to 40 times the legal limit.

Only certain models were fitted with the defeat device, but it is thought around 11 million cars had the device installed over the six year period across the world.
