Taipei, Dec. 19 (CNA) The investigation into the death last year of an Indonesian
fishery worker on a Taiwanese boat has been reopened on the instruction of the Control Yuan, the watchdog arm of the government, a spokesperson for the Pingtung District Prosecutors’ Office said on Monday.
The case will be reopened based on forensic and video evidence that the Control Yuan, in its report on the matter, deemed crucial, the Apple Daily reported, citing the spokeswoman Chen Yun-ju (陳韻如).
The Indonesian man in his 40s, identified only by the name Supriyanto, died in August 2015 of septicemia from infected wounds because he was not provided with timely treatment after being physically assaulted about a month earlier on the fishing boat the “Futzuchun,” the Control Yuan said in its report in October.
