The Taipei District Prosecutors Office has indicted Li Ching-huang, Chairman of Taichung Optic, for perjury in connection with the corruption case involving KMT Taipei City Councilor Chen Chung-wen. Chen was sentenced to a total of nine years in prison last December, a ruling currently under appeal at the High Court.
According to the verdict, Chen established Li-Chi Cloud Company and used his position to pressure the Taipei City Social Welfare Department and Taichung Optic to purchase surveillance equipment from his company, netting 3.08 million TWD for Li-Chi and 610,000 TWD for Kang Li-chi. He also forged signatures to inflate capital and embezzled funds from Kuo-Heng Company.
In December, the Taipei District Court sentenced Chen to 8.5 years in prison for corruption, document forgery, and embezzlement, along with a six-month sentence for lesser charges.
Prosecutors found that in April 2023, Chen introduced Kang Li-chi to Li Ching-huang at his office, where they exchanged business cards. However, when summoned as a witness in October 2024, Li Ching-huang denied ever meeting Kang. Prosecutors argue this testimony was material to the case and constituted perjury under Article 168 of the Criminal Code.
