Prosecutors appeal Yilan magistrate's verdict
Posted on 2025-02-05 08:14:14
The Yilan District Prosecutors' Office has filed an appeal against the Yilan
District Court's decision to sentence Yilan County Magistrate Lin Zi-miao to
12 1/2 years in prison.

The appeal comes after Lin was found guilty last December of seeking illegal
gains through her supervisory role as a public official, money laundering and
having unaccounted-for assets as a public official.

According to the prosecutors' office, it is seeking to have Lin retried on
charges related to allegations she gave a tax waiver to a Luodong Township
landowner.

The district court determined during the trial there was insufficient
evidence to prove Lin had engaged in corruption.

Prosecutors are describing district court's verdict as "flawed" - saying and
that the sentences for Lin and 13 other defendants were all too lenient.

Lin was indicted along with 14 other people in 2022 over a scheme to waive
1.12-million N-T in land value increment tax for a plot of land in Luodong
Township.

Prosecutors says the landowner in return provided land used for Lin's
campaign headquarters in 2018 and the K-M-T's Yilan campaign headquarters
ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
