political persecution only

Taipei Times - archives: "Former president Chen Shui-bian’s (陳水扁) son Chen Chih-chung (陳致中) and daughter-in-law Huang Jui-ching (黃睿靚) yesterday said in court that they hoped the High Court would reduce their prison sentences and fines.

Taiwan High Court yesterday summoned the couple for a pre-trial hearing. The two maintained their stance of confessing to the charges against them in hopes of attaining leniency. The case is currently in its second review.

On Sept. 11, Chen Chih-chung, convicted in the first instance by the Taipei District Court of money laundering, was sentenced to two years and six months, as well as a fine of NT$150 million (US$4.6 million), for helping his parents wire money to overseas bank accounts."
