(CNA Reporter Hsieh Chun-lin, Taipei, 16th) Li Chun-liang, Deputy Chief of the Fude Street Police Station, Xinyi Precinct, Taipei City Police Department, is suspected of assisting wealthy businessman Zhong Wen-zhi to abscond after his conviction was finalized. The Taipei District Prosecutors Office indicted him today and transferred the case to the court. After a detention hearing, the judge ordered Li Chun-liang to be released on NT$800,000 bail with border controls and the wearing of an electronic ankle monitor for technological surveillance.
The Taipei District Court held a detention hearing at 3:30 PM today and made a ruling at around 6 PM. Li Chun-liang and Zhong Wen-zhi's bookkeeper Ye Zhong-qing, who were both in custody, were granted bail of NT$800,000 and NT$200,000 respectively. Both are restricted from leaving the country, going out to sea, and changing their residence. They must wear electronic ankle monitors for technological surveillance and are ordered not to have any contact or communication with Zhong Wen-zhi or any witnesses or defendants named in the indictment.
During the hearing, Li Chun-liang denied the crime. Regarding the prosecutors' accusation that he signed the reporting records on behalf of Zhong Wen-zhi, Li Chun-liang stated that Zhong Wen-zhi's residence is only a 10-minute walk from the police station, and if he needed to take a leave of absence, he could have a lawyer submit a petition, so there was no need to bribe him or other police station members. As for the accusation of possessing property of unknown origin, he claimed it came from his salary, gifts from his mother, and loans. Li Chun-liang only admitted to making non-official queries of citizens' personal data but denied sending it to Zhong Wen-zhi.
Ye Zhong-qing admitted to the crime during the hearing, acknowledging that he transmitted citizens' personal data to Zhong Wen-zhi via a messaging app. He expressed his intention to settle with the victims and asked the judge to arrange mediation.
The Taipei District Prosecutors Office indictment pointed out that Li Chun-liang, fully aware that Zhong Wen-zhi was required to report to the Fude Street Police Station every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday since October 5, 2021, took the case reporting record form from the duty desk and forged Zhong's signature on it. He filled in false reporting times on 95 occasions, allowing Zhong to evade fuel costs totaling NT$113.584. This constitutes the crime of a public servant seeking illegal profits; although the monetary amount is small, it severely infringes on legal interests.
According to the indictment, Li Chun-liang is also involved in the crime of holding property of unknown origin. Prosecutors discovered during the investigation that during his tenure at the Xinyi Precinct, his total monthly salary was about NT$100,000 without any outside income. However, reviewing his financial accounts revealed unexplained cash deposits between 2022 and 2024, resulting in a total increase of NT$2,604,000 in unexplained property, the source of which is highly suspicious and clearly disproportionate to his income.
The indictment further states that Li Chun-liang assisted Zhong Wen-zhi in illegally checking others' personal data by logging into the "Beat Inspection Processing System (OE)" using his account and password. He falsely registered the reason as "household visit" to query citizens' personal household registration data, informed Ye Zhong-qing of the information, who then passed it on to Zhong Wen-zhi.
The Taipei District Prosecutors Office indicted Li Chun-liang today and sought an 8-year sentence for suspected crimes under the Anti-Corruption Act for public servants illegally seeking profit and holding property of unknown origin; under the Criminal Code for public servants abusing their authority to produce false documents, leaking non-defense secrets, and uttering quasi-public documents containing false entries; and under the Personal Data Protection Act for public servants abusing their authority to illegally use personal data. Ye Zhong-qing was also indicted for violating the Personal Data Protection Act. (Editor: Chang Ya-ching) 1150416
