Clarifications on Chiu Yi's Allegations
In response to Legislator Chiu Yi's allegations on his involvement in money laundering, taking bribes, and President Chen's gun shot on March 19, 2004, Deputy Secretary-General to the President Ma Yung-chen sharply denounced the charges as untrue and malicious.
According to the Department of Public Affairs of the Office of the President, the deputy secretary-general said if there were any evidence attesting to the allegations, he would resign from the current position and take the responsibility; however, if Chiu is only taking advantage of his speech immunity and not able to prove the allegations, he shall be held responsible legally and politically.
