Former Taiwanese vice president and opposition leader Lien Chan was questioned over alleged misuse of expenses during his tenure, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
"We have interviewed Lien Chan at his office as a courtesy to a former vice president," said Chen Yun-nan, spokesman for a special investigative unit of the Supreme Prosecutors Office without elaborating. The case was brought to prosecutors' attention after the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) accused Lien of misusing expenses when he served as vice president between 1996-2000 and premier between 1993-1997.
The local Liberty Times said Lien's wife Lien Fang Yu was also questioned in early December in the case. The paper said investigators were planning to question other Kuomintang (KMT) officials, including the party's vice presidential candidate Vincent Siew, for allegedly misusing expenses when they served in the KMT government. The KMT ruled Taiwan for 51 years until 2000 when it lost power to the DPP.
The probe came as Taiwan's High Court was set to rule on Friday on corruption charges against opposition presidential candidate Ma Ying-jeou, after he was cleared by a lower court in August. Ma was indicted for allegedly misusing more than 11 million Taiwan dollars (330,000 US dollars) in expense accounts during his tenure as Taipei mayor from 1998 to 2006.
