Prosecutors searched the office of a company liked to TPP Chair Ko Wen-je ...
over allegations concerning false reporting of political expenses during
January's presidential election.

T-P-P spokesperson Celina Wu said yesterday morning that agents led by Taipei
prosecutors searched Ko's workplace in Songshan District.

However, T-P-P Deputy Secretary-General Hsu Fu later told reporters the
search didn't involve TPP premises or Ko's office.

The T-P-P voluntarily handed over documents from the election period to aid
the investigation.

Former campaign office deputy chief Vicky Chen admitted to inaccuracies in
declared expenses, blaming an outsourced accountant, Tuanmu Cheng, for the
errors.

Ko admitted to hiring "unsuitable people" in a letter to T-P-P members
yesterday, and confirmed the resignation of a central committee member, Huang
Shan-shan, who has also been implicated in the scandal.

Ko is also under investigation for unrelated alleged corruption cases from
his time as Taipei mayor.
