Alleged campaign banquet case against Changhua council speaker Hsieh Dian-lin and father

Changhua County Council Speaker Hsieh Dian-lin and his father, Hsieh Hsin-lung, were detained incommunicado in an investigation into alleged vote-buying tied to a county council banquet, while Hsieh’s mother, Cheng Ju-fen, was released on bail. Prosecutors say public funds paid for high-priced dishes, foreign liquor and gifts worth more than NT$1,000 per voter, while Hsieh’s office and KMT figures argue the meal was ordinary socializing and accuse investigators of politically timed detention. The case has prompted some candidates to cancel campaign events, and KMT Chair Cheng Li-wen visited Cheng Ju-fen while demanding clearer vote-buying standards from the Justice Ministry.
