TOKYO — One of Japan's best-known business people has resigned as chief executive of beverage giant Suntory after police raided his house in an illegal drugs probe, the company and media said on Sept. 2.

Mr. Takeshi Niinami, 66, was put under police investigation regarding "supplements he purchased under the belief that they were legal," Suntory president Nobuhiro Torii told a news conference.

Police searched Mr. Niinami's house in August, but he has denied involvement, and no illegal drugs have been found, according to Jiji Press and other media.
