So they have no evidence Kaufmann took drugs, other than some allegations by some mystery figure told his employer (or perhaps someone at his company made the allegations). Something's fishy here...

Anyone can claim a drug being sold to a targeted innocent person.

There's got be more that we're getting in the press. Allegations are made, outside law firm investigates, finds it likely the German bought drugs, police notified- search the guy's home - nothing, told to resign, he does, now they found someone who allegedly sold illegal drugs that they couldn't find to Kaufmann.

Suspicion of selling!!!? then NO drugs were found at the home!!? this is NOT a case that's even worth reporting.

Could this be a Set Up by Olympus to remove him from his post !!!? sound very familiar!!!

We're talking about the same company that promoted British employee Michael Woodford to CEO to basically be a patsy for a $1.5bn (though prosecutors believe the real number was closer to $6.5bn) financial fraud scandal. Woodford blows the whistle and brings in outside auditors. Only to receive death threats and is fired by the board. He ends up fleeing the country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympus_scandal

None of the Japanese executives ended up in prison even though the scale of the fraud was many times larger than Carlos Ghosn.
