(CNA, Taipei, 18th) The Ma Ying-jeou Foundation recently established an investigation team to look into whether former aides Hsiao Hsu-tsen and Wang Kuang-tsz violated financial discipline. The foundation announced today that the investigation report has still not been submitted long after the team was formed. Ma Ying-jeou called the members of the investigation team on the 11th to inquire about the investigation's progress and invited them to attend a board meeting on the 21st to elect new board members.
Personnel changes at the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation recently sparked discussion, with the departure of former aide and current KMT Vice Chairman Hsiao Hsu-tsen, and Wang Kuang-tsz. The foundation held a board meeting and issued a statement indicating that after board members reviewed evidence related to Hsiao and Wang's violation of financial discipline, they unanimously agreed to form a special team to continue verifying the scope and authenticity of the relevant evidence.
In a press release today, the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation stated that regarding the case of former employees Hsiao Hsu-tsen and Wang Kuang-tsz violating the foundation's internal discipline and being suspected of embezzlement and breach of trust, the three-person investigation team established by the board on March 27 has yet to produce a report. Chairman Ma Ying-jeou personally called the three team members, Hsueh Hsiang-chuan, Yin Chi-ming, and Lee Te-wei, on May 11 to inquire about the progress and invited them to a board meeting on May 21 to elect new board members.
The foundation noted that Hsueh Hsiang-chuan and Yin Chi-ming did not answer their phones. Only Lee Te-wei, the designated spokesperson for the three-person team, answered and promised Ma Ying-jeou during the call that he would attend the May 21 board meeting, notify the other two team members to attend, and also promised to present the investigation team's findings at the meeting.
The foundation also mentioned that last weekend, an AI-generated video circulated on online platforms and groups. The video falsely claimed that the three-person investigation team, including Lee Te-wei, had resigned and that the foundation had already referred Hsiao and Wang for prosecution, while also smearing and attacking Foundation CEO Tai Hsia-ling, former BCC chairman Jaw Shaw-kong, and former National Security Council Secretary-General King Pu-tsung.
The Ma Ying-jeou Foundation emphasized that because the video's content is malicious and fabricated, the foundation is issuing a solemn statement to clarify the facts and urges the public not to believe or spread such false rumors. (Editors: Su Chih-tsung, Su Lung-chi) 1150518
