A former Taiwan hospital chief and his ex-deputy have been jailed while prosecutors investigate claims they cheated the hospital for personal gain — bad news for the hospital and the accused.

• Changhua prosecutors say ex-Changhua Christian Hospital director Kuo Shou-jen and former deputy director Lai Chien-wen are suspected of breach of trust.
• Investigators searched the hospital and 30 other locations, then questioned the two men and a business contact surnamed Liu.
• The alleged scheme ran for years, with the three accused of colluding to profit at the hospital's expense.
• A court approved holding all three in custody, citing the risk they could destroy evidence or coordinate their stories.

Outlook: Prosecutors are keeping case details quiet, so the next signs will come from formal charges as the investigation continues.
