On July 6, 2024, the Chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation, Cheng Wen-Tsan, who served as the Mayor of Taoyuan, was arrested on suspicion of bribery related to a land development case. Prosecutor Chen Jiayi, handling this case, had previously exposed former Taoyuan Chief Prosecutor Peng Kunye's involvement in influence peddling, leading to Peng's dismissal. Despite suspicions, Cheng Wen-Tsan was granted bail of 5 million Taiwanese dollars while the investigation continues. Chen Jiayi's discreet handling of the case contrasts with his prior involvement in a tax evasion case, where he uncovered and addressed influence-peddling attempts. This investigation exposed complexities in the justice system and highlighted the challenges prosecutors face in maintaining integrity.
