Reported 3 months ago
On July 17, 2024, amid suspicions of corruption during his time as Taoyuan Mayor, former Mainland Affairs Council Minister 鄭文燦 was detained and denied visitations. Following this, Democratic Progressive Party Taoyuan City Councilor 張肇良, seen as 鄭文燦's protege, was searched by prosecutors and detained after interrogation, along with 5 others, in connection to an influence peddling case involving illegal constructions. While 張 was detained, 3 individuals were released on bail and 2 were let go without bail. The case originated from a report alleging 張 attempted to shield an illegal building from being classified as a 'Class A illegal structure' for immediate removal, to later lease it to a chain store. Prosecutors and police conducted widespread searches and questioning, leading to the detention and bail of those involved.
