On April 14, 2026, it was reported that Taiwan People's Party (TPP) legislator-at-large Lee Chen-hsiu is under investigation by the Taipei District Prosecutors Office. This action follows her expulsion from the TPP on April 13, 2026, which legally requires her to vacate her legislative position. The investigation stems from public complaints alleging that Lee committed forgery and corruption. The core of the accusation is that she may have concealed her dual-citizenship status when registering as a legislative candidate and subsequently drew a salary illegally. The case, initiated after she was sworn into office in February 2026, is being handled by the anti-corruption division of the prosecutor's office.
