The Taipei District Court ruled to dismiss the former President Chen Shui-bian's prosecution for money laundering due to statute of limitations, prompting the prosecution to appeal. However, Chen still faces charges in three other cases including embezzlement of presidential office documents, involvement in a bank merger scandal, and instigating perjury, with the potential impact of dismissing these cases also due to the 'broken window effect'. The prosecution decided to appeal to ensure the proper legal process. The case dates back to a corruption scandal in 2004 involving Chen and his wife, who were accused of money laundering. This decision was reached after multiple hearings and discussions among prosecutors.
