Candidate for female congressman in Yunlin sent 190 yuan of peanut candies and was involved in election bribery. Posted on bail of 150,000 yuan

The election for county councilors in the first constituency of Yunlin County (Douliu, Haotong, and Linnei) was fierce, with 18 people competing for 10 seats. The Yunlin District Prosecutor's Office received intelligence information stating that the candidate surnamed Chen went to a sorority in Douliu in April this year and offered each person a box of peanut candy with a market price of 190 yuan. The prosecutors launched a search yesterday and brought back 21 people involved in the case. After the interrogation, Chen Nuyi posted bail of 150,000 yuan, and the rest were asked to return.

The Yunlin District Prosecutor's Office received information indicating that 35-year-old Chen was involved in election bribery, and assigned prosecutor Zhou Fuxue to direct the Yunlin County Investigation Station, the Central Region Mobile Work Station, the Yunlin County Police Douliu Branch and the Criminal Police Brigade to form a task force to investigate. Yesterday, the Yunlin District Prosecutor's Office summoned Chen and four robbers, and notified voters of 16 people to report to the case.

The prosecutor found that in April this year, a sorority in Douliu held a trip and held a dinner party in the evening on the way back. Ms. Chen took the initiative to go and, in order to win re-election, gave each person a box of peanut candies with a market price of 190 yuan. Preliminary statistics indicate that at least 16 people received the gifts.

The Yunlin District Prosecutor's Office stated that after the prosecutor's reinterrogation, Chen was seriously suspected of committing bribery for violating the election and recall law, but there was no need to detain her. She had to post a bail of 150,000 yuan, and the other stubs and bribe-taken voters were returned without bail.

The Yunlin District Prosecutor's Office emphasized that if the candidate team provides property with considerable economic value, it may sway the will of the voting rights holders, undermine the fairness of the electoral system, and even involve bribery. It will make every effort to crack down on vote bribery and other acts that interfere with the election.

The candidate posted on Facebook earlier, stating, "Everything is fine. I never thought that election bribery would be related to her. She respects the judiciary and believes that the judiciary can clarify the truth and restore my innocence and justice."
