KMT lawmaker Chen Hsueh-sheng's office searched in corruption probe
Taiwanese prosecutors raided a sitting opposition lawmaker's legislative office over graft allegations — bad news for the KMT ahead of an already tense political season.
- Investigators searched the Legislative Yuan office of KMT lawmaker Chen Hsueh-sheng on Monday morning.
- The Taipei prosecutors' office says he is suspected of breaking Taiwan's anti-corruption law.
- The raid followed a tip-off, and was run by the special unit that handles political and financial crime.
- Reporters packed the corridor outside as agents went in and out, making it a very public embarrassment for the party.
Outlook: Prosecutors say they will release more details once the search wraps up, and the KMT will be under pressure to respond.
