Legislator Xu Qiaoxin's relatives suspected of involvement in a virtual currency money laundering case, with the amount involved exceeding tens of millions.

Legislator Hsu Chiao-hsin's aunt, Liu Hsiang-chieh, along with her husband Tu Ping-cheng and friend Lin Yu-lun, have once again become the focus of judicial investigation for their alleged involvement in assisting a fraud ring in money laundering activities. This case not only involves large sums of money transfers but also implicates intricate financial transactions and the virtual currency market, sparking widespread social attention.

Second Fraud Investigation Involving NT$27 Million in Funds Transferred

In March of this year, Liu Xiangjie and her husband came under police attention again due to unresolved previous cases. Within just two months, funds involved in the case were transferred through cryptocurrency transactions amounting to NT$27 million, further deepening suspicions of money laundering. After thorough investigation, authorities found that these funds were transferred multiple times before being withdrawn and ultimately flowed into a public relations company account controlled by Ms. Liu.

Accounts Frozen, Continued Money Laundering Through Others' Accounts

According to prosecutors, the accounts of Liu Xiangjie and Du Bingcheng had already been flagged in a previous fraud case, prohibiting their use. In order to continue their money laundering activities, the two instead utilized the public relations company account of Liu's high school classmate Lin Yulun for the illegal transfer of funds.

Multi-layered Transfers, Public Deceived by Investments

From July to September 2023, several individuals reported that their investment funds were mistakenly transferred to designated accounts and later discovered they had been deceived. The public relations company account became the final destination for the transfers, indicating that Liu Xiangjie and others used intermediaries to withdraw and launder these illegal proceeds.

Further Trial Reveals More Accomplices Behind the Scenes

In a search operation on March 25, authorities detained Liu Xiangjie and related individuals. Despite their denial of criminal behavior, prosecutors believed there was sufficient reason to suspect them of serious crimes, leading to their application for detention and restriction of communication. Although Liu's assistant was released that day, further potential accomplices are being investigated based on account and communication records.

This case continues to unfold, testing the fairness of Taiwan's judiciary and potentially influencing public perception of the behavior of political figures' family members. As the investigation progresses, more details will gradually come to light.
