(Central News Agency) (Central News Agency reporter Lin Chang-shun, Taipei, 24th) A female police officer surnamed Tseng from the Zhongzheng Second Precinct of the Taipei City Police Department is suspected of illegally helping her ex-boyfriend, surnamed Huang, inquire about the personal information of citizens. The Taipei District Prosecutors Office directed the police yesterday to search seven locations, including the residences of the two individuals, and summoned them for questioning. After further interrogation by the prosecutor, they were ordered today to post bail of NT$100,000 and NT$200,000, respectively.
According to an investigation by the Taipei City Police Department, a female officer surnamed Tseng from the Zhongzheng Second Precinct is suspected of illegally assisting her ex-boyfriend, Huang, in querying citizens' personal data, allegedly violating crimes such as the Personal Data Protection Act. The precinct had recently initiated an internal self-investigation and reported it to the Taipei District Prosecutors Office to direct the investigation.
Yesterday, the Taipei District Prosecutors Office directed units including the Criminal Investigation Division of the Taipei City Police Department, the Zhongzheng Second Precinct, and the Inspector's Office to execute search warrants issued by the court. They searched a total of seven locations, including the residences of Tseng and Huang, as well as Tseng's office workspace, and notified both individuals to appear for questioning.
After overnight interrogation by the prosecutor, Tseng was ordered to post bail of NT$100,000 early this morning, while Huang's bail was set at NT$200,000. Both are restricted from leaving the country and going to sea.
Regarding media reports that Tseng had served on a security detail for the presidential residence, the Zhongzheng Second Precinct stated that the officer's illegal behavior was unrelated to the residence's security. In addition to investigating the case according to the law, the precinct will also pursue administrative responsibilities for relevant personnel's inadequate supervision and assessment.
The Zhongzheng Second Precinct stated that it actively investigates all cases of illegal or undisciplined behavior by police officers. Adopting a stance of strict internal policing, they will not cover up, protect, or shield shortcomings. They are determined to investigate to the very end without leniency, aiming to purify the team and demonstrate their resolve to maintain police discipline. (Editor: Li Hsi-chang) 1150424
