Xie Dianlin, the chairman of the Changhua County Council of the Kuomintang, was suspected of using public funds to host an "election dinner" and was guilty of corruption and vote-buying. He and his father Xie Xinlong were detained on September 17. The Changhua District Court ruled today that Xie Xinlong With a guarantee of 10 million yuan, the court is expected to open a hearing on Xie Dianlin's extended detention case tomorrow (11th). Local people believe, "Let dad Xie Xinlong get out. There is a high chance that Xie Dianlin's detention will be extended tomorrow, and the extension of detention may be a foregone conclusion!"

Regarding whether the father and son should continue to be detained, the Changhua District Prosecutor's Office issued a press release this evening stating that Xie Dianlin was "involved in other circumstances of fraudulently defrauding public funds for private use, which have not yet been clarified, and he applied to the court to extend his detention for 2 months."

The Changhua District Prosecutor's Office announced the reasons for the arrest of Xie Dianlin and Xie Xinlong on September 17 this year. The charges committed by Xie Xinlong were different from those of his son Xie Dianlin. It was pointed out that when the prosecutors investigated Xie Dianlin’s suspected election bribery case in July this year, they asked the parliament to send a letter of accounting information in recent years. Someone from the parliament immediately informed the Xie family that Liu Chenyou, an important cadre of the Xie family known as the "special assistant", was suspected of obtaining meals from the parliament. The on-site surveillance video of the meeting was handed over to the Xie family. The prosecutor believed that Xie Xinlong was involved in the crime of leaking secrets other than national defense, illegal collection and processing of personal information, and obtaining other people's computer electromagnetic records without reason. It was different from Xie Dianlin's crime of corruption and vote-buying.

Local people pointed out that the prosecutors agreed to Xie Xinlong's bail, but did not agree to Xie Dianlin's bail. Under the "release the father, keep the son" strategy, there is a high chance that Xie Dianlin's detention will be extended tomorrow, and the extension may be a foregone conclusion. The prosecutors recently reviewed the Changhua County Council's account books in recent years and frequently circulated the news. Calling parliamentary civil servants and other relevant persons, Xie Dianlin is suspected of using parliamentary public funds to hold a dinner party on June 23 to support the election of his cousin Chen Zhenfei (nominated by the Kuomintang) who is running for mayor of Xihu Town. There may be other frauds that need to be investigated and clarified. Xie Dianlin's chance of posting bail is very low.
