Taiwan's well-known gaming group "Kyushu Group" has been involved in gambling and money laundering cases. The group's president, Chen Zhenggu, has been detained for nearly 10 months. The Taichung District Court has set a bail at 200 million New Taiwan Dollars, marking the highest bail amount in recent years for the court.
Chen Zhenggu has been detained since May 24, 2023. The prosecution accuses him of crimes related to gambling and money laundering, but he has consistently denied all charges. After the third detention hearing, the court believed that although other defendants had been charged, they did not play a central role in commanding or controlling the criminal organization, thus lowering the possibility of collusion with Chen Zhenggu, and decided to allow bail.
The Chief Judge and spokesperson of the Taichung District Court, Huang Yuqi, stated that after Chen Zhenggu paid the 200 million New Taiwan Dollars bail, his detention was suspended. From the day of the bail, he is restricted to his residence and is not allowed to leave the country or go to sea for eight months.
However, during the bail period, Chen Zhenggu must still adhere to strict restrictions, including no contact with co-defendants and witnesses related to the case, and he must report to the designated police station every Wednesday and Saturday morning. Additionally, if he cannot raise the bail amount by March 21, his detention will be extended by two months starting March 23.
