Liu Qiaoan (real name Liu Yihan), known as the "Sunflower Goddess", was wanted in the embezzlement and transportation of drug packages and fled to the United States. She was deported to Taiwan by the United States in June this year. The prosecutor immediately detained her and banned her. The task force investigated and found that Liu was involved in joining Gu Xiang in the United States. Liu, a drug trafficking group with a background in the Hong Kong gang "14K" and led by Chinese men, hid 590 grams of cocaine in candles and transported it to Taiwan by air. The New Taipei District Prosecutor's Office recently charged her with transporting first-level drugs, which is punishable by death or life imprisonment.
The task force investigated and found that the transnational drug trafficking organization had a careful division of labor. The deceased "Wei Yip" had a gang background. "Lou" is responsible for supplying cocaine in the United States. His right-hand man, a Taiwanese man named Lin, is responsible for sending drug packages abroad, and a Taiwanese man named Zou helps collect drug purchases from buyers; Ms. Liu joined the media in 2021 to contact potential drug buyers in Taiwan to contact the organization. Other accomplices in Taiwan include Xie Juanling, a woman who conspired with Liu to smuggle drugs, and Yang Zhijun, a man responsible for falsely registering "EZ WAY" and other customs declaration matters.
Prosecutors found that in July 2021, Liu and Xie conspired to send packages of cocaine to Taiwan from the United States. The man, Lin Hongshen (who is wanted), also joined in after hearing about it. From July to October of the same year, Xie's daughter remitted a total of more than 700,000 yuan to an unsuspecting account as payment for drug purchases. Ms. Liu and "Wei Yip Lou" hid the cocaine in candles, mixed it with clothes, iron plates and chocolates as cover-ups, put them in packages, and commissioned an unsuspecting courier company to transport the drugs to Taiwan by air.
In October of the same year, after the package arrived in Taiwan, the Taipei Customs Office of the Ministry of Finance opened the box and found that suspected drugs were hidden and reported it to the investigation unit for investigation. Xie Juanling, who conspired with Liu's daughter to transport drugs, was unaware of the package and asked Zhang Yangzong, a man who wanted to buy drugs from her, to come forward to collect the package. Upon seeing this, officers immediately came forward to arrest them. Three accomplices in Taiwan, including Xie, Yang, and Zhang, were all arrested and sentenced to prison terms ranging from 7 to 9 years.
Liu Qiaoan was hiding in the United States and was only repatriated in June this year. During the investigation, she confessed to drug trafficking and other crimes, but she still had disputes about the cash flow. After investigation, the prosecutors charged her with transporting first-level drugs, smuggling controlled substances under the "Smuggling Punishment Ordinance", and participating in a criminal organization under the "Organized Crime Prevention Ordinance". They requested the court to punish her with the more serious crime of transporting first-level drugs. If Ms. Liu still pleads guilty during the trial, please reduce her sentence in accordance with the law.
