* Former Regulatory Body Spokesman Jailed for Corruption
Former Financial Supervisory Commission spokesman Lin Chung- cheng was sentenced to 16 years in jail by the Taipei District Court in his first corruption trial, Taipei Times reports. Mr. Lin was found guilty of accepting bribes and illegally lobbying for several companies, including China Development Financial Holding Corp. during its hostile takeover bid for Taiwan International Securities Corp., Taipei Times says. The ruling said Lin accepted bribes in return for insider stock market information to which he had access as a FSC official, Taipei Times relates. The Times explains that Mr. Lin and his secretary, Su Jun-ji accepted money, valuable gifts and a cabin in Sijhih, Taipei County, worth between TWD3 million and TWD5 million, the ruling said. Mr. Su and Tsuei Mei-lan, an official from China Development Financial, were also charged with corruption and offenses relating to the protection of trade secrets, the Times adds. The Times adds that Mr. Su will be serving probation instead of his two-year sentence, while Mr. Tsuei was sentenced to 15 months in jail.
