German prosecutors hit Volkswagen with another fine as part of the company's emissions cheating scandal from 2015.

Prosecutors fined Volkswagen's subsidiary Audi more than $926 million.

Volkswagen said in a statement Tuesday that it accepted the penalty and, by doing so, admits responsibility in the so-called "dieselgate" scandal. The company also said it will not appeal the fine.

Volkswagen was already hit with a $1.2 billion fine from German prosecutors in June. 

The latest penalty ends the probe into Volkswagen, but prosecutors say they are still investigating executives, like Audi's former CEO Rupert Stadler.
