TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – OBI Pharma Inc. Chairman Michael Chang was freed on bail of NT$1 million (US$30,900) in the investigation into insider trading with his company’s shares, reports said Saturday.

Wong has staunchly denied any involvement, including during a meeting with President Ma Ying-jeou Friday. He is also likely to face questioning by lawmakers as early as Monday.

While Wong was meeting with Ma, the Shilin District Prosecutors Office in Taipei City was questioning Chang and eight other suspects and witnesses, while teams of investigators raided seven locations, including OBI Pharma      [FULL  STORY]headquarters.
