The mayor of Yancheng District in Kaohsiung was involved in fraudulently claiming the meal expenses of the watch team, and the investigation and investigation office released him on bail pending interrogation.

Kaohsiung's Yancheng District chief surnamed Cai was suspected of using false sign-in records from the watch team with his wife and sister to fraudulently collect more than 220,000 yuan in missed meals for patrol officers. Prosecutors found that three people had gone abroad or signed in in other counties and cities. After interrogation, the Kaohsiung District Prosecutor's Office ordered three people to be released on bail pending interrogation.

Chief prosecutor Chen Yanzhu and prosecutor Yang Hantao commanded the Southern Region Mobile Work Station of the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice and the Yancheng Branch of the Kaohsiung City Government Police Department to form a task force to investigate the case of Yancheng District Chief Cai fraudulently claiming meal expenses for the watch team. On the 1st, the task force summoned relevant defendants and witnesses to report to the case and found out that Chief Cai was also the watch captain. The members of the watch team included his sister, wife and many residents.

The prosecutor found that between January 2023 and February this year, some team members did not actually perform patrol duties, but still signed the entry and exit register of the watch team according to the instructions of the commander Cai. The commander Cai and his sister even forged the signatures on their behalf. The three members of the team, the commander Cai, his sister, and his wife even went abroad or were in other counties and cities. They did not actually perform duty, but still signed the entry and exit register.

Based on these false records, Chief Cai made a false claim list, and together with relevant information, applied for missed meal expenses from the Yancheng Police Station. He was suspected of fraudulently claiming a total of 223,340 yuan in missed meal expenses for the watch team.

The prosecutor determined that the chief, surnamed Cai, his sister and his wife were all involved in serious crimes of publishing false documents in the exercise of criminal law and fraud. After the interrogation, considering that the three people had explained the relevant circumstances and expressed their willingness to return the proceeds of crime, there was no need to detain them. Therefore, they ordered the chief surnamed Cai, his sister 90,000 yuan, and his wife 70,000 yuan to be released on bail pending questioning.
