Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators yesterday urged the Special Investigation Division to launch an investigation into allegations that former president Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) had taken copies of classified national security documents before leaving office.

At a news conference at the legislature yesterday morning, DPP Legislator Wang Ting-yu (王定宇), citing a confidential source, said Ma had taken an unidentified number of boxes containing copies of classified national security documents when he was moving out of his office.

“Ma is the only president who had a copy machine in his office. He has said before that he always made copies of documents himself, including classified documents,” Wang said.

Calling on investigators to subject Ma to the same standards imposed on former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁), Wang said that the investigation division searched both the Presidential Office and Chen’s residence after hearing that Chen had allegedly moved several boxes of classified documents out of his office.     [FULL  STORY]
