presecutors weak up

Taipei Times - archives: "State Prosecutor-General Chen Tsung-ming (陳聰明) said he had convened a meeting of head prosecutors nationwide yesterday morning, and that high-level prosecutors concluded that unless they could prove without question that government officials spent special allowance funds for private matters and therefore committed corruption, they would not charge the officials.

Chen said the prosecutors would like to see the Legislative Yuan introduce a law detailing how special allowance funds should be used.

Such a law would help prosecutors during investigations of special allowance fund abuse and aid judges during hearings involving corruption, Chen said.

More than 6,500 government officials are currently facing investigations into their use of special allowance funds."
