Taiwan Charges Alleged Chinese Spies With Money Laundering
A Hong Kong couple was recently indicted for allegedly violating the Money Laundering Control Act in Taiwan, after being accused as Chinese spies by a defected Chinese military intelligence agent in 2019.
Xiang Xin, CEO of the Hong Kong-based China Innovation Investment Ltd. (CIIL) and China Trends Holdings Ltd., and his wife, Kung Ching as the alternate director, were charged with money laundering by the Taipei District Prosecutors Office (TDPO) on April 8, being suspected of remitting illicit money to banks in Taiwan to purchase luxury homes.
These are the first charges against the couple since November 2019, when self-claimed Chinese spy Wang “William” Liqiang who defected to Australia, claimed that Xiang and Kung were his former bosses who hired him to interfere with Taiwan and Hong Kong affairs.
