Volkswagen’s supervisory board on Wednesday announced agreements to recover €17.8 million (U.S. $21.7 million) in compensation from former executives and board members for their respective roles in the Dieselgate emissions scandal.

Former Chairman of the Board (CEO) Martin Winterkorn agreed to return €11.2 million (U.S. $13.6 million), while former Audi CEO Rupert Stadler will pay back €4.1 million (U.S. $5 million). Volkswagen had announced in March it would seek damages from the two after an internal investigation determined each man breached duty of care under stock corporation law as part of Dieselgate.
