Taipei reservoir chief Lin Yu-yi questioned over alleged misuse of public funds

Aug 21, 2026

Taipei's Feitsui Reservoir chief has been fired and hauled in by anti-corruption investigators over suspected misuse of public money — a black eye for the city government.

  • Lin Yu-yi, head of the Feitsui Reservoir Administration, is accused of improperly using public funds while in the job.
  • Prosecutors in Taipei ordered raids on two locations and called in Lin plus four staff witnesses for questioning.
  • The case came from a tip-off received a day earlier, with the Agency Against Corruption opening an investigation right away.
  • Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an has already removed Lin from the post, handing the case over to the anti-corruption agency.

Outlook: Prosecutors are expected to re-question Lin late in the day, which will decide whether he is released, held, or formally charged.
