In this episode: Prosecutors indict 4 people and issue warrants for 2 Hong Kong nationals over the secret surveillance of Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Bo-yang; OCAC Minister Hsu Chia-ching resigns…
Taipei District Prosecutor's Office confirmed that DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang was secretly surveilled, indicting four Taiwanese Credit Investigation Agency employees and issuing arrest warrants for two Hong Kong nationals who financed the 24-hour monitoring of Shen, his wife and daughter.
Prosecutors said the Hong Kong pair paid about HK$100,000, roughly NT$360,000 for the job, which was subcontracted for NT$180,000 and carried out with a hidden camera installed on a scooter parked across from Shen's home.
The indictment vindicated Shen, who reported last year that he had been followed and found a pinhole camera disguised as a scooter screw outside his home, and who said he also received threatening letters with the word death written on a photo of his wife.
KMT Taipei City Councillor Yang Qitu, who had suggested Shen might be ill for making the claims, publicly apologised and said he was wrong and sorry, as the case dovetailed with Shen's combative appearance on TVBS's Shao Kang War Room, where host Chao Shao Kang pressed him on marijuana policy and the death penalty.
Next in political news, Overseas Community Affairs Council Minister Su Chia-ching tearfully resigned on Tuesday after the Taiwan People's Party accused her family of parasitizing the council, alleging her 14-year-old son had posed as an official photographer on overseas trips and that her husband used ministry cars.
Xu had previously been fined 100,000 New Taiwan Dollars by the Control for failing to recuse herself from a conflict of interest.
Premier Zhuo Zhongtai accepted her resignation to protect her reputation, praising her year in office, and asked Deputy Minister Li Yanhui, who had also offered to resign, to stay on as acting head of the council.
Xu denied any misuse of public funds, insisting her family's travel was privately funded, while the People's Party dismissed her tearful exit as crocodile tears.
