The former CEO of Audi, Rupert Stadler is sentenced conditionally to one year and nine months in prison and a fine of 1.1 million euros for his involvement in the so-called “Dieselgate”, according to the German Süddeutsche Zeitung.
CEO Stadler had denied wrongdoing for several years.
At the trial in Munich in May, Stadler admitted that he allowed vehicles to be fitted with software that produced false emissions results in car tests.
The “Dieselgate” scandal broke in 2015. Then it was revealed that the car giant Volkswagen deliberately cheated and caused their diesel cars to show significantly less nitrogen oxide emissions than they actually emitted.

The Swedish Harbor Workers’ Union announces a strike in Gothenburg and Helsingborg. The strike may come into effect on July 6 and may last until July 11.
The union also announces an overtime blockade, new employment blockade and hiring blockade in Halland’s Ports.
The port workers’ union’s main demand is the introduction of a “joint party social fund”. The fund must be able to support employers who choose to rehabilitate needy employees after prolonged illness or injury.
– In the ports, many people work in an extremely insecure form of employment which means that they end up in the middle of the insurance systems, even though some may have made a living as dock workers for decades, says union chairman Martin Berg.
The union’s second demand is that newly employed and hired personnel must have the right to a paid union induction with the union.
According to the Accident Commission, the accident at Gröna Lund was not caused by a sun curve, i.e. a curvature of the rails due to heat, according to Sveriges Radio.

The accident commission will bring the entire train set to the ground and transport it to an examination room where more technical examinations will be carried out, according to P4 Stockholm.
