(CNA, Yilan, May 20) The Yilan District Prosecutors Office is investigating Glarea Clinic for alleged voyeurism, raiding its Luodong branch on the 9th, seizing disguised surveillance recording equipment, and taking in three individuals, including the female manager surnamed Huang. After questioning by the prosecutor, Huang was released on NT$100,000 bail, while two other female employees were each released on NT$60,000 bail. Following a suspected hidden camera case at I-Lirry Clinic, a member of the public discovered on the 5th that Glarea Clinic's Banqiao Zhongshan branch in New Taipei City also had suspected disguised surveillance cameras. After receiving a report on the 8th, prosecutors and police searched Glarea's branches in Banqiao Qanqian, Banqiao Zhongshan, Sanxia, Sanchong, and Xinzhuang. On the 8th, Yilan police, along with the Health Bureau, conducted an administrative inspection at Glarea Clinic's Luodong branch, but no significant progress was made due to the limitations of the inspection. The Yilan District Prosecutors Office issued a press release today stating that on the 9th, Prosecutor Yeh Yi-tsai directed the Yilan County Police Bureau and its Luodong Precinct, along with the Yilan County Health Bureau and Fire Bureau, to conduct a joint inspection and search, subsequently seizing disguised surveillance recording equipment and other items. According to reports, during the search of Glarea Clinic's Luodong branch, prosecutors and police found disguised surveillance equipment, but it had already been dismantled and was not operational. They also seized a computer mainframe. Whether the Luodong branch was involved in surreptitious filming will be further clarified after the hard drive is decrypted. Police also brought in the female manager surnamed Huang and two female employees for questioning. After overnight interrogation by the prosecutor, they were deemed to be under significant suspicion of committing offenses against sexual privacy under the Criminal Code. However, as detention was not deemed necessary, Huang was ordered to be released on NT$100,000 bail, and the other two women on NT$60,000 bail each.
