Infantry Brigade 206 explodes compulsory theft and improper lending. Army: Brigade commander and cadres have been warned and punished

The 206th Infantry Brigade of the Army's Sixth Army Corps has been controversial this month. When Kuomintang legislator Xu Qiaoxin questioned the relevant cases at the Legislative Yuan Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee, although the relevant details still need to be investigated, Lieutenant General Chen Jianyi, the chief of staff, admitted that there are indeed many areas that "need to be improved" in the unit's management. In response to the theft and improper lending that occurred in the brigade's compulsory service a month ago. The Army Headquarters stated today that the 206th Brigade apparently made administrative errors in handling the case, and has issued warnings to the brigade commander and cadres at the time of the incident.

A compulsory soldier who was discharged here last month (27th) pointed out to this newspaper that since May, his colleagues surnamed Ye had stolen mobile phone money and defrauded him of loans in the brigade camp. However, the army made excuses to delay the handling. He reported the case to the gendarmerie but was intercepted. However, the cadres failed to isolate and control the colleague surnamed Ye who privately confessed to the crime, putting the entire company at risk of crime. He accused the unit chief of mishandling the case and intending to get away with it, and called on the Ministry of National Defense to investigate and deal with it in accordance with the law.

During the inquiry of the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan today (29th), Kuomintang legislator Xu Qiaoxin asked the Ministry of National Defense what is wrong with this unit in view of the military discipline and self-injury and death accidents that have occurred in the 206th Infantry Brigade in recent months? Lieutenant General Chen Jianyi, chief of staff of the Army Command, admitted that the unit's internal management, such as incident investigation time node management and control, does have a lot to improve.

In response to the 206th Brigade volunteer service's claim that their property was stolen, the Army Headquarters confirmed today that although the unit was informed of the stolen property in June, it did not handle it in accordance with the law until September 14th. The two compulsory soldiers involved in the dispute were found to be true. The unit violated the "Regulations on the Implementation of the National Army's Military Discipline Maintenance" and involved improper borrowing in the camp. They were sentenced to 10-day suspension and 4-day suspension. The punishment was approved by the battalion level in August. Administrative procedures were completed and punishment orders were served to the parties in accordance with regulations.

As for the delayed handling of the theft in the camp, the Army emphasized that it would subsequently review the then brigade commander and other relevant cadres, and impose sanctions ranging from "one reprimand" to "two reprimands."

After the conscript reported that his mobile phone and money had been stolen, the platoon cadres interviewed a colleague named Ye who was suspected to be involved in the case. Ye confessed and wrote a handwritten repayment IOU regarding the fraudulent loan to the conscript.
