More political figures and police officials were yesterday embroiled in a corruption scandal centering on former Supreme Court judge Shih Mu-chin (石木欽) and Chia Her Industrial Co (佳和集團) president Weng Mao-chung (翁茂鍾).
Local Chinese-language media reported that Weng allegedly made political donations to lawmakers and city councilors from major parties during election campaigns, and treated high-ranking police officials to banquets and gifts to allegedly buy influence.
Shih in a media interview denied the accusations, saying that he had done nothing wrong.
