MUNICH, Germany (AP) - A Siemens AG board member was arrested Tuesday in connection with an investigation of alleged payments to the head of a tiny labor union, Europe's biggest electronics and engineering company said.
Johannes Feldmayer was detained by police as part of an investigation into payments from the company to the head of the AUB labor organization, Wilhelm Schelsky, after investigators raided offices in Munich, Erlangen and Nuremberg, a Siemens spokeswoman said.
"We don't know the exact reason, but it does relate to the AUB affair," Konstanze Tauber told The Associated Press. "Siemens is cooperating fully with the investigators ... and will continue to do so."
