Acting on a tip, prosecutors and military police searched Chen’s residence and arrested him in August last year. He was dismissed from service in November last year and formally indicted last month on charges including contravening the National Security Act (國家安全法) and the Anti-Corruption Act (貪污治罪條例). His actions seriously endangered national security and military discipline, they said, urging the court to impose a heavy sentence as a warning.
