TAIPEI: Taiwan prosecutors have charged a former mayor of Taipei who heads a small opposition party with accepting T$17.1 million (US$522,000) in bribes over a major property development in the capital and misuse of political donations. Ko Wen-je, mayor from 2014 to 2022 and who came third in January's presidential election , was arrested in August after investigators raided his home and party and questioned him for hours. Reuters was not able to reach Ko for comment, who is currently detained.
