The Taipei District Prosecutors Office has announced a significant reshuffling of its leadership, appointing new heads to several key prosecutor roles. Guo Jin-chang, a prosecutor known for his work on the 'Raincoat Bandit' case, will assume the position of chief prosecutor.
Zeng Yang-ling, who previously led the investigation into the Taroko Express derailment, will now head the 'Loyalty Group,' a unit focused on combating corruption and major economic crimes. This group has a history of handling high-profile cases, including the San Chung case and the Taipei Dome project.
Other appointments include Zhou Fang-yi, who will lead the 'Love Group' focusing on corruption and economic crimes, and Lin Jun-ting, who will take charge of the 'Ji Group,' also dealing with corruption and major economic offenses. Lin previously played a key role in the prosecution of a case involving former Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je.
Lin Yan-jun, described as the "flower of the North District Prosecutors Office" for her role in a Ministry of Justice promotional program, will serve as deputy chief prosecutor and head of the 'Harmony Group.' She recently oversaw the investigation into the controversial Prince Group case.
As Hong Kongโs technology sector continues to broaden, the proposed changes aim to expand technology theme coverage, refine constituent selection, and increase the number of constituents, so the index continues to represent the evolving tech landscape.
