Taiwan prosecutors have filed additional charges against ruling-party lawmaker Lin Tai-hua, accusing her of pocketing political donation money — bad news for her and for the DPP's image on corruption.

• Kaohsiung prosecutors say Lin, her younger brother, and a third man took more than NT$13.79 million from her campaign donation accounts.
• The money came from donations raised across her last two legislative election runs, which brought in over NT$100 million in total.
• Prosecutors say the group used a marketing company to issue fake invoices and move the money out of the accounts meant only for campaign use.
• Lin denies it, saying she owns no property, had no reason to steal, and will answer the charges with her lawyers once she receives the formal filing.

Outlook: The case heads to Kaohsiung district court, where Lin already faces a separate trial over alleged misuse of assistant funds.
