Changhua County Speaker Xie Dianlin and his father Xie Xinlong’s corruption case was dismissed and their detention ban was determined

Changhua County Assembly Speaker Hsieh Dian-lin and his father Hsieh Xinlong were involved in cases of parliamentary bribery and corruption. The two were detained by the Changhua District Court and banned from seeing them. The lawyer filed a protest on the 21st, hoping to have the detention revoked and return home before the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, the Taichung High Court ruled this evening (24th) that the protest was dismissed, and the case could not be protested again. The Hsiehs and his son's Mid-Autumn Festival reunion was definitely in vain.

The Taichung High Court pointed out that after the protest file arrived at noon today, the collegial panel held that both Xie Xinlong and Xie Dianlin were involved in crimes such as "taking advantage of their positions to defraud property" and other crimes under Article 5, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 2 of the Corruption and Corruption Regulations. The criminal suspects were serious, and the crimes were serious crimes with the minimum penalty of more than five years in prison. There were facts and reasonable grounds to believe that they were in danger of fleeing, annihilating evidence, or colluding with accomplices or witnesses.

If less intrusive means such as bail, liability, or restricted residence are not enough to ensure the smooth progress of the prosecution process, and it is necessary to detain the defendant and prohibit visits and communications, it is ruled that the detention and prohibition of visits is not illegal or inappropriate. The two defendants' objections are unfounded and should be dismissed. The ruling is that no further protests are allowed.
