German authorities have detained the chief executive of Volkswagen’s Audi division, Rupert Stadler, as part of a probe into manipulation of emissions controls.

German news agency DPA said Volkswagen confirmed reports that Stadler was detained on Monday.
Munich prosecutors searched Stadler's private residence as part of their investigation of suspected fraud and indirect improprieties with documents.
“The suspect has been seen by a judge, who has ordered him to be remanded in custody,” the prosecutors’ office said in a statement.
Audi has also been embroiled in the emissions scandal that has plagued Volkswagen.
Last week, the prosecutors' office widened its emissions cheating probe to include Stadler among the suspects accused of fraud and false advertising.
