As reported in the Taipei Times, the Ministry of the Interior announced that Nantou County Commissioner Lee Chao-ching would continue to be barred from office over allegations of receiving kick-backs relating to government contracts:
Lee has been indicted by Nantou County District Prosecutors’ Office on charges of receiving kickbacks from almost every bid for a county government project since taking office in 2008.
The office said Lee was allegedly involved in more than 117 cases of bribery. He was detained in November last year and released on bail last Tuesday.
