[Reporter Bao Jianxin/Kaohsiung Report] KMT Penghu County Speaker Liu Chen Zhaoling and Congress Confidential Secretary Chen Shumei were detained and prohibited from seeing each other. Both of them lodged an appeal. It is decided that the speaker's part is still pending.

It is understood that Liu Chen Zhaoling, the speaker of Penghu’s 6 consecutive hegemony, is suspected of accepting bribes in the case of "Qiao Shi". After a large-scale search of her office and other places a few days ago, prosecutors believed that Liu Chen Zhaoling and the confidential secretary of the parliament Chen Shumei were involved in the case. With approval, Sun Chunmei, the best friend of the speaker, paid 200,000 yuan in bail.

Chen Shumei refused to accept the ruling and filed a protest with the Kaohsiung Higher Branch on the 17th of this month, while the speaker Liu Chen Zhaoling filed a protest three days later. The two cases were heard by different judges.

It is understood that the case investigators suspected that Liu Chen Zhaoling and others were involved in the case, including the case of the temporary personnel appointment of the Vehicle Management Office, the Huxi Fire Brigade, the case of the fire department squad leader buying an official for 500,000 yuan, and the fact that the barbecue business continued to operate in order to continue running without water and electricity. A joint venture provided one million yuan as bribes.

After reviewing the files, the judge of the second trial, Shi Bohong, believed that Chen Shumei’s involvement in the case was serious. The minimum sentence for the crime was more than 5 years.
