Former President Chen Shui-bian's Money Laundering Case Dismissed, Taipei Prosecutors Appeal for Statute of Limitations Error

Reported about 1 year ago

Former President Chen Shui-bian was accused of money laundering in connection to former Taipei 101 Chairman Chen Minxun's bribery case, but the Taipei District Court ruled in 104th year to halt the trial due to the statute of limitations being deemed completed. Taipei prosecutors filed an appeal today, citing errors in calculating the statute of limitations. Chen and his wife were alleged to have accepted a bribe to secure Chen Minxun's position, resulting in separate eight-year sentences for corruption. Chen was deemed an accomplice in money laundering, prompting a re-investigation by the prosecution. The Taipei District Prosecutors' Office subsequently charged Chen with money laundering after the hospital provided a medical report citing his health conditions as a reason for not appearing in court during the trial. Taipei prosecutors argued that the dismissal ruling had procedural flaws and incorrect statute of limitations calculation.
