BERLIN -- German prosecutors said they were searching the homes of three new suspects in connection with Audi's diesel-emissions scandal.
Two of the new suspects are former members of Audi's executive board and all three are suspected of being partly responsible for the emissions cheating, Munich prosecutors said on Thursday.
Officials said that current top managers were not among the suspects.
Audi couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
German prosecutors searched the homes of several current and former Audi employees in January in connection with the automaker's involvement in parent Volkswagen Group's diesel-emissions cheating scandal. This was followed last month by a search of Audi's headquarters and its car plant in Neckarsulm, Germany.
