Lin, a former prosecutor at the Taiwan High Prosecutors’ Office, sued Huang, Special Investigation Division prosecutors Yang Jung-tsung (楊榮宗) and Cheng Shen-yuan (鄭深元), and Taipei District Court Judge Chou Chan-chun (周占春) over the wiretapping of her and her daughter’s telephones in 2013, demanding NT$2.21 million in compensation and an apology to be issued in a newspaper.

The court ruled that Huang should pay NT$300,000 for the wiretapping, but rejected charges against the other three defendants. The ruling can be appealed.    [FULL  STORY]
