TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taipei prosecutors have launched an investigation into former TPP Legislator Li Chen-hsiu (李貞秀) over allegations of document forgery and corruption following her expulsion from the party.

The TPP’s Central Review Committee convened Monday afternoon and decided to expel Li with immediate effect, per CNA. The Central Election Commission said that, in accordance with the Civil Servants Election and Recall Act, it will request the Legislative Yuan to revoke her status as a legislator.

After taking the oath of office in February, Li became embroiled in controversy over her qualifications because of her dual nationality. Multiple citizens filed complaints alleging that when she registered as an at-large legislative candidate, there were omissions, procedural deficiencies, or other irregularities in the process.

They alleged that she used this to receive a legislator’s salary. The allegations could constitute the crimes of causing a public official to make false entries in official documents, document forgery under the Criminal Code, and violations of the Anti-Corruption Act.

CNA reported that the Taipei District Prosecutors Office has opened an investigation into allegations of document forgery and corruption against Li, to be handled by the chief prosecutor of the anti-corruption task force. Prosecutors do not rule out summoning her for questioning.
