Former Taoyuan Mayor and Straits Exchange Foundation Chairman Sean Lien was suddenly taken in by the Taoyuan Prosecutor's Office for alleged corruption on July 5th and detained overnight. It is anticipated by the court to hold a hearing around 11 a.m., shocking various sectors. Local sources revealed the involvement of a land case at Guishan Formosa Plastics Park. Nationalist Kuomintang legislator Cow Hsu-Ting mentioned rumors linking Lien to multiple land developments in Taoyuan, but lacking direct evidence, resulting in no concrete conclusion. Hsu-Ting pointed out Lien's extensive social circle and lack of discernment among political and business figures as a reason behind suspicion.
