A financial misconduct dispute at the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation has escalated into public accusations and criminal complaints, involving former Taiwanese leader Ma Ying-jeou and impacting the KMT opposition party.
Lawyer Huang Ti-ying has challenged claims made by KMT Vice Chairman Hsiao Hsu-tsen regarding donations to the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation. Huang cited a Mirror Weekly report that allegedly contradicts Hsiao's statements about anonymous donations, the background of donors, and the evidence presented.
DPP legislator Lin Chun-hsien commented on the internal conflict within the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation, suggesting the dispute over alleged embezzlement by former executives is a "last chance" for the "old KMT" to resist the rise of "red-hued new stars." He believes Ma's departure would leave the old guard powerless.
Former Ma Ying-jeou Foundation CEO Wang Kuang-tzu, who resigned in February, has reportedly established "Ching Yu Culture Consulting Co., Ltd." in April with a capital of NT$1 million. The company is located in Taipei. Wang has not yet responded to inquiries about the new venture.
Lawyer Huang Di-ying alleges former Ma Ying-jeou Foundation CEO Hsiao Hsu-tsen committed public embezzlement and breach of trust, drawing parallels to Ko Wen-je's legal issues. The foundation claims Hsiao received donations without proper accounting.
