It is alleged that confidential information, including details about the schedules of the president and vice president during their trips abroad, may have been obtained.
The four included Huang Chu-jung, a former assistant to a county councilor representing the DPP that has run Taiwan for the past nine years, who was allegedly recruited while on a business trip to China, Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office said.
The three others had also formerly served as advisers in the presidential office, the National Security Council and other bodies, the prosecution statement said.
The indictments come amid a series of such actions by the Taiwanese government, especially targeting serving and retired military personnel. (AP) PY PY
