MILAN (Reuters) – Sergio Pasini, a manager at former carmaker Fiat Chrysler, now part of the Stellantis group, was arrested in Italy, police said on Wednesday, with sources close to the matter adding the arrest was part of a U.S. inquiry into diesel emissions rigging.

Police confirmed the arrest, responding to a Reuters email.

According to one source, the arrest comes after a U.S. indictment earlier in the year. The charges include conspiring diesel-powered vehicles cheating on emissions tests.

Another source said that the arrest occurred Monday in the vicinity of Ferrara, northern Italy.

Stellantis wasn’t immediately available to comment.
