Taiwanese Lawyer Flees Bail
A Taiwanese lawyer, Yu Kuang-te, accused of masterminding a NT$147.77 million (≈$3.59 million) fraud ring, jumped bail and is now a fugitive. The Taoyuan District Court issued an arrest warrant after Yu’s electronic monitoring bracelet was tampered with. The Electronic Monitoring Center (EMC) initially detected a signal loss, but the device briefly resumed transmission after a system reset, delaying the alert.
By March 23, the EMC confirmed the bracelet was non-functional, and Yu’s surveillance phone was switched off, prompting the court to confiscate his NT$2.5 million bail and file a complaint. Yu, 35, faces charges of aggravated fraud and money laundering for leading a syndicate that defrauded 179 victims with the help of two Bank of Taiwan employees.
