Taiwan probes alleged money laundering by ex-leader and family
2 hours ago

TAIPEI (AFP) — Taiwan has launched an investigation into alleged money
laundering by former president Chen Shui-bian and his family following
similar moves by Swiss authorities, Premier Liu Chao-shiuan said
Friday.

Swiss prosecutors "have requested assistance in their investigation
and we have immediately started our own probe," Liu told reporters
without elaborating.

Taiwan's justice ministry said the request, received on July 31, was
from the Swiss side which was investigating suspected money laundering
by Chen's son Chen Chih-chung and daughter-in-law Huang Jui-ching.

Copies of the Swiss documents obtained by Kuomintang lawmaker Hung
Hsiu-chu showed that Chen Chih-chung and his wife had transferred some
31 million US dollars to Huang's Swiss bank accounts in 2007.
