Why It Matters
The social worker surnamed Jiang of the Bei Municipal Social Affairs Bureau was responsible for keeping the bankbooks and seals of five incapacitated elderly people. He was suspected of overstating the care fees between May last year and June this year, embezzling more than 12 million yuan.
Jiang Yijie, a 38-year-old social worker supervisor of the Taipei City Social Affairs Bureau, was suspected of taking advantage of his position to embezzle more than 12 million yuan from five warded elders who were unable to manage their own property, causing an uproar in society. In response, Zhang Yumeng, chairman of the Taiwan Youth Generation Community Good Association, angrily criticized that the case was so outrageous that the Taipei City Social Affairs Bureau was not even aware of it. Jiang Wanan also defended it today and said that "the Social Affairs Bureau took the initiative to discover, investigate, and report to the District Prosecutor's Office." He angrily said, "Isn't reporting and reporting to the police basic? Can this be said? The Social Affairs Bureau doesn't even need to review it?"
Zhang Yumeng posted on Facebook that five elders in Taipei's Wenshan District had more than 10 million yuan stolen from their pension money by the supervision of city social workers. Jiang Wanan's Social Affairs Bureau did not find out for more than a year. All the social workers involved in the case resigned. Only when colleagues checked their accounts did they realize that something serious had happened. The investigation found that the social worker surnamed Jiang was originally the social worker supervisor of the Elderly Welfare Section of the Taipei City Social Affairs Bureau. Some elders were unable to take care of themselves and had no relatives or friends. The Social Affairs Bureau would keep their bankbooks and seals. The social worker supervisor surnamed Jiang was responsible for managing the retirement savings of at least five elders.
Zhang Yumeng pointed out that these five elders had mental disorders or mental defects and were unable to express their thoughts freely, so the Social Affairs Bureau was their only support. Unexpectedly, from May last year to June this year, social worker Jiang, who was suspected of self-stealing, took away more than 12 million of these elderly people's money.
Zhang Yumeng further pointed out that her method is very simple. The resettlement agency where these elders live will apply to the Social Affairs Bureau for care fees. The elders sometimes need to buy food and diapers. Anyway, as long as they have living expenses, the social worker surnamed Jiang will submit a signature to the Social Affairs Bureau and apply to collect cash on their behalf. But over the past year, she seemed to have "explained more for less" and overstated the expenses. For example, if the resettlement agency fee was actually 200,000, she would claim 500,000, so that she could pocket the price difference of 300,000. In this way, she could make between 7,800 and 8,000 to more than 100,000 each time.
Zhang Yumeng said that the prosecutor arrested her at the Sanchong rental house yesterday and found 13 brand-name bags including Hermès, Chanel, and LV, Cartier watches, and even a diamond ring at the scene. The case came to light because the social worker surnamed Jiang resigned in June this year. His successors discovered that the amounts in many elders' accounts had become inexplicably less. The Social Affairs Bureau found out and reported the case as soon as possible.
Zhang Yumeng criticized that the problem is that the case is so outrageous that the Taipei City Social Affairs Bureau has not discovered it for more than a year. What's even more ridiculous is that the social worker surnamed Jiang resigned because she wanted to work in the New Taipei City Government. If the colleague who took over the job hadn't been alert, wouldn't she have been allowed to leave safely in Taipei and continue to New Taipei City?
Zhang Yumeng pointed out that the case occurred during the term of Yao Shuwen, Jiang Wanan's social affairs director. As a result, Jiang Wanan hurriedly escorted the case today. He said in the morning that "the social affairs bureau took the initiative to discover, investigate, and report to the district attorney's office." Let him explode angrily, "Oh my God, isn't it basic for A to steal the old man's hard-earned money of 12 million? Reporting and calling the police? Can this also be said? The Social Bureau does not need to review it? Is Jiang Wanan so bad now that as long as he does something, he will ask for praise whenever he opens his mouth?"
