TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Kuomintang (KMT) legislator for Taitung Sufin Siluko (廖國棟), who is accused of taking bribes in a scandal involving Sogo department stores, can walk free if he posts NT$10 billion (US$357,000) bail, a court ruled Friday (Jan. 15).
Of the several politicians allegedly involved, only Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lawmaker Su Chen-ching (蘇震清) and his legislative office manager, Yu Hsueh-yang (余學洋), are still in custody, CNA reported.
Earlier, independent Legislator Chao Cheng-yu (趙正宇), KMT lawmaker Chen Chao-ming (陳超明), and former New Power Party (NPP) Chairman Hsu Yung-ming (徐永明) were released on bail.
