The Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office yesterday said that it does not rule out the possibility of

requesting evidence from the Australian Attorney-General’s Department to corroborate allegations made by self-confessed Chinese spy William Wang Liqiang (王立強).

Taipei and Canberra do not have a mutual judicial assistance agreement, but the office can request the information on a case-by-case basis.

The office yesterday questioned China Innovation Investment Ltd (中國創新投資) executive director Xiang Xin (向心) and his wife, acting director Kung Ching (龔青), for more than two hours, reasserting that it has jurisdiction over the case.

After questioning on Tuesday, the couple was barred from leaving the nation over an alleged breach of the National Security Act (國家安全法).    [FU LL  STORY]
