China News Service, August 16. According to Taiwan's Zhongshi News Network, Taiwan's New Taipei District Prosecutor's Office launched a search in June this year to investigate a case of collective bribery collection by the northern Taiwan police. Violating vehicles pay the fine and re-license the road.
On August 15, the prosecutors carried out a second wave of searches and went to 6 police stations in New Taipei City to interview 10 police officers, 7 business owners and 1 witness. After overnight interrogation, the prosecutors instructed to detain 3 police officers and 7 witnesses. The police paid 100,000 yuan (NTD, the same below) for bail.
The investigation found that the car rental business was worried that the customer was driving the car illegally and the license plate was suspended, so they conspired with the agent to “take advantage of the loopholes”. In order to revoke, pay the fine and re-license the road to reduce losses.
It is understood that in August last year, the New Taipei City Police Department discovered that a police officer was suspected of colluding with the industry, collecting tens of thousands of yuan in bribes for each car, issuing hundreds of fines, and illegal profits exceeding one million yuan. In addition, it also actively checked internal personnel. The police officers interviewed this time were all cleared by the police station and submitted to the prosecution.
