Changhua County Speaker Xie Dianlin and his father Xie Xinlong, both members of the Kuomintang, were detained for nearly two months on suspicion of the "A's election meal with public funds" case. The Changhua District Court today (10th) ruled that Xie Xinlong should be released on bail of 10 million yuan. The Xie family learned at 4 p.m. that they had raised tens of millions in cash in half an hour. At 5 p.m., Xie Dianlin's second sister and her assistant appeared in court carrying black handbags. Later, Xie Dianlin's younger brother Xie Yaoyu also came to help with the bail process.
It is understood that Xie Dianlin and his son have been detained by the court since September 17. As the two-month detention period is about to expire, the Changhua District Court originally planned to hold a detention court this morning. After consulting the prosecutor, the prosecutor finally agreed that Xie Xinlong should post bail under certain conditions. The judge therefore ruled that the detention should be suspended with a guarantee of 10 million yuan, and the residence, travel and overseas travel would be restricted for 8 months.
The Xie family did not receive the news of the bail release until 4 p.m., and they immediately raised the deposit urgently. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the second sister Xie Dianlin and her assistant arrived at the Changhua District Court Judicial Police Office with a heavy black handbag, and Xie Yaoyu also arrived later. Since the bail amount was as high as tens of millions of dollars, the bailiff specially prepared a banknote counting machine to count the cash. Unfortunately, the banknote counting machine malfunctioned, and the bail process was continuously delayed.
Xie Yaoyu said that the whole family was in a heavy mood during this period. Now that his father was finally allowed to post bail, he just hoped to go to the detention center to take him home as soon as possible. He was also dissatisfied with the judiciary's detention of his father and brother for 5 to 60 days. He questioned that "it can't be done after being detained for so long." There is no point in continuing the detention.
Xie Xinlong is currently still in the Changhua Detention Center and cannot be released until the bail procedures are completed and the release ticket is delivered to the detention center. As for Xie Dianlin, because he was involved in other circumstances of fraudulently defrauding public funds for private use, the prosecutor has applied to the court to extend his detention for 2 months. There are still variables as to when he can regain his freedom at the same time.
