Zhang Zhaoliang, a councilor in Taoyuan and protégé of former Mayor Cheng Wencan, has been arrested by prosecutors following an investigation into alleged lobbying concerning illegal construction. After a series of searches at multiple locations, Zhang and five others were questioned, resulting in Zhang's detention while three were released on bail and two were sent home without bail. The investigation arose from reports alleging Zhang pressured local authorities to prevent reporting on a building under construction classified as an 'A-type illegal structure' to avoid immediate demolition, allowing it to be completed for commercial rental purposes.
