After prosecutor Xiao Yongli uncovered the illegal sale of Huida AI servers, he also uncovered 815 kilograms of drug smuggling, which was commended by the Executive Director.

When prosecutor Xiao Yongli served in the Keelung District Prosecutor's Office in June this year, he directed the Coast Guard's Investigation and Prevention Branch, Keelung City, New Taipei City Police Department and other units to uncover a case in which a drug trafficking syndicate used ships to transport 815 kilograms of marijuana and other drugs. The market value of this batch of drugs exceeded 1.618 billion yuan. Executive Yuan President Zhuo Yongtai commended prosecutors and investigators at a press conference today, thanking and affirming the hard work and efforts of the front-line anti-drug team members.

Xiao Yongli, a prosecutor who formerly worked at the Keelung District Prosecutor's Office, has investigated many high-profile cases. Recently, he uncovered the illegal sale of Huida AI servers and successfully uncovered the mastermind behind the scenes. Recently, it was reported that the maritime patrol, police and other judicial police units were commanded to seize 815 kilograms of drugs to protect the health of the people.

When colleagues from the Coast Guard were investigating a drug case earlier this year, they traced the upstream shipping track and finally identified the smuggling fishing boat and transport vehicle, and reported it to the Keelung District Prosecutor's Office to direct the investigation. Prosecutor General Chen Jiaxiu attached great importance to the case and assigned it to Prosecutor Xiao Yongli to investigate.

In the early morning of June 3 this year, investigators found the suspect surnamed Wang and others in a parking lot in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, and confiscated 1,309 packages of dried cannabis flowers on the spot, totaling 766.09 kilograms, 40 packages of amphetamines 43.25 kilograms, 5 packages of ketamine and 5.34 kilograms of mixed drugs. They further traced the source and investigated the upstream, arrested the owner surnamed Li, and successfully blocked the flow of a large amount of drugs into the domestic black market.

The investigation of the case was concluded on August 24, 2015. Five people including Li Nan were prosecuted on suspicion of violating the Drug Harm Prevention Regulations such as transporting second-level drugs, and the main suspect was specifically required to be sentenced to 20 years in prison.

The Coast Guard held a press conference on the results this afternoon (5th). President of the Executive Yuan Zhuo Rongtai and Minister of Justice Zheng Mingqian came to commend in person, and especially expressed their condolences to Prosecutor Xiao Yongli and the investigators who have been transferred to the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office.

Chairman of the Maritime Commission Guan Biling, Executive Director Zhuo Rongtai, Minister of Justice Zheng Mingqian and Prosecutor Xiao Yongli listened to the investigators describing the seizure process.
