Cheng Wen-Tsan, the former mayor of Taoyuan and current Chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation, was detained in the early hours for alleged corruption charges. Taoyuan prosecutors invoked the Anti-Corruption Act and requested his detention without access to visitors. Cheng's lawyer was already at the court, and prosecutors seemed solemn as they prepared for the detention hearing. The case is suspected to be linked to a specific land zone alteration case, and Cheng's interactions with individuals involved in past scandals have drawn scrutiny. Despite ongoing investigations and questioning, no concrete actions were taken until now. The detention hearing is expected to continue in the afternoon.
