Photo: DPAA German executive working at Volkswagen's Tokyo office has been arrested on drug charges, the automaker said Thursday. Thomas Siebert, 53, was detained on Wednesday on suspicion of using an unspecified drug, the company said, with media reports suggesting it was cocaine. Authorities started investigating Siebert after customs officers found what was believed to be an illegal drug mailed to his Tokyo address, media reports said. His urine tested positive for drugs and Siebert has admitted to using cocaine, local media added. Two years ago, an American Toyota executive was arrested on charges she had a controlled drug - the painkiller oxycodone - mailed to her Tokyo residence.
