The money was destined for Chen’s eldest son to invest in a beverage shop in the Philippines, reports said.
The unlocked suitcase was found on an early train to Taipei Tuesday. Rail staff inspected the item to try and find its owner, and came to the conclusion it belonged to the prominent lawmaker and former Chiayi County magistrate, according to the United Daily News.
Chen only remembered he had left the money on the train when having lunch with his son, who later came to pick up the suitcase, the report said. [FULL STORY]
