Hsinchu County Mayor Yang Wen-ke has been indicted for allegedly corruptly favoring a construction firm after making 33 contacts with them regarding the controversial 'Fengcai 520' project. The prosecution has recommended severe penalties and the confiscation of over NT$2.5 billion in illicit gains. DPP legislator Wang Ding-yu has criticized both the KMT and TPP for double standards, demanding Yang's immediate resignation, while Yang expressed regret and claimed his explanations during the investigation were ignored. He, along with 11 others, faces charges related to bribery and collusion with developers.
