Exclusive》Resigned from the police and ran for election as a mountain aboriginal member of Zhushi City. Accused of giving gifts and creating ghosts. Population of 60,000 was released on bail.

A retired police officer surnamed Yun participated in the Hsinchu City Mountain Aboriginal Council election this year, but was accused of bribery by giving gifts and attempting to use ghost population to influence the election results. The Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Office yesterday (9th) ordered the Hsinchu City Police to join investigators in searching , summoned more than 10 people, including Yun Nan, and seized Yun Nan’s mobile phone, business cards, notebooks, manuscripts, and physical evidence such as thermos flasks used to bribe votes. The prosecutor reviewed the case and ruled that Yun Nan should be bailed out at 60,000 yuan, and the voter named Yun who was involved in the ghost population should be bailed out at 20,000 yuan pending summons.

Prosecutors said that in order to win the election, Yun Nan allegedly used a dinner party with relatives and friends in January this year to seek support from attendees by giving each person a thermos flask with a market price of approximately NT$199 to NT$350. The recipients include many voters in his constituency.

It is understood that Yunnan has a high-spirited personality and is willing to help others. After his retirement, he often took the initiative to care for the disadvantaged in various indigenous tribes in Greater Hsinchu. Prosecutors determined that he took advantage of this layer of protection and was suspected of taking the opportunity to send portable bathing chairs, toilet paper, adult diapers, rice and other daily necessities to voters with mountainous aboriginal status in Hsinchu City from May 21 to August 29 this year in order to seek support. At least eight voters are currently involved.

In addition, Yun Nan was also accused of using the traditional ghost population method to move a relative to his registered residence in Hsinchu City, knowing that his collateral family members did not actually live in Hsinchu City, in an attempt to influence the results of the election at the end of the year.

The prosecutor said that Yun Nan's aforementioned behavior was suspected of violating the election and recall law for public officials, paying bribes to people with voting rights, and criminal law related to ghost population. He was ordered to post a bail of 60,000 yuan; the person who faked his registered residence was also given a bail of 20,000 yuan.
