Why It Matters
Wu Nan posted a video on a social platform on March 1 this year, claiming that he would plant bombs at the Presidential Palace and three major airports. This led to police investigation and arrest at Taitung Station in June.
The Taitung District Prosecutor’s Office has charged a man who threatened to plant bombs at airports in Beijing, Taoyuan, and Kaozhou in March this year.
On March 1 this year, a man surnamed Wu posted a bomb threat video on the social platform Threads, claiming that he would place 10 bombs at three major international airports in Taipei, Taoyuan, and Kaohsiung. Although it was later confirmed that it was just a false alarm and no real damage was caused, the police subsequently launched an investigation and arrested Wu Nan at Taitung Station in June this year. The prosecutors determined that he was spreading false information that endangers aviation safety and prosecuted him in accordance with the law. In addition, the police also found 1.25 million yuan in cash and 7 mobile phones on his possession. It is suspected that he was involved in fraud, and he is currently under investigation by the prosecutors.
The indictment pointed out that in order to attract the attention of netizens and with the criminal intention of spreading false information that endangers aviation safety and intimidating the public, Wu used his mobile phone to log into his Threads account and publicly posted videos sent by others. The content includes statements such as "I have predicted that dozens of bombs will be installed at the Presidential Office and the three major international airports: Taipei Airport, Taoyuan Airport, and Kaohsiung Airport by the end of the year. We will wait and see." It spreads false information that endangers aviation safety and intimidates the public, causing harm to public security. The prosecutor eventually prosecuted him on suspicion of violating the Civil Aviation Law.
After being arrested, Sue Wu confessed to the crime. However, when the police arrested him at Taitung Station, they found another NT$1,257,700 and 7 mobile phones on him. The prosecutor has investigated this part in a separate case. Because the case involving the large sum of cash and multiple mobile phones is still under investigation, the prosecutor did not comment much.
According to "On the Road" and former drivers, "This guy is trying to deceive attention online, but he should still be defrauding members offline." "I used to be a driver, and this guy might become a "mobile water house." He only defrauds money and also places bombs online and affects flight safety to deceive everyone. It is really too long to live." "Congratulations to the prosecutor for catching another fraud group." As for whether the large amount of cash seized was related to the "bomb threat case"? The prosecutor stated that after investigation into this case, it was impossible to determine that the defendant was under command or had other accomplices.
