Taiwanese prosecutors say their investigation into suspected foreign influence in the Nov. 28 local elections led them to seek detention of Taiwan People’s Communist Party founder Lin Te-wang. The Tainan District Court approved the request, according to Focus Taiwan/CNA; the case concerns alleged funding and direction from China’s Communist Party. Lin’s guilt has not been established, and authorities’ allegations should not be treated as a verdict.
