By Jonathan Chin / Staff writer, with CNA
The Yunlin District Prosecutors’ Office is investigating potential fraud in a settlement over a wind farm project in waters off the county’s coast, after the Wpd Taiwan Energy, a subsidiary of German developer Wpd AG, accused fishers of filing false claims.
Investigators on Monday interviewed 21 fishers before releasing 12 on their own recognizance and nine on bail of NT$10,000 to NT$100,000, prosecutors told a news conference yesterday.
