The Swiss Representative to Taiwan, Jost Feer, says Switzerland is committed to combating money laundering. He said his country will offer legal assistance to Taiwan once evidence is provided in a high-profile case involving Taiwan's former first family. Feer made the remarks in response to the latest scandal implicating former President Chen Shui-bian and his family.
In July, Taiwan received a request from the Swiss authorities for
Assistance in probing alleged money laundering by Chen's son Chen Chih-chung and his daughter-in-law Huang Jui-ching in Switzerland.
In Taiwan, the former president confessed in August that he did not honestly account for his election campaign expenses. He also said that his wife Wu Shu-jen funneled surplus funds from election campaign contributions into overseas bank accounts. He said that this was done without his knowledge.
Feer said that Taiwan is not a special case and that as long as there is evidence of criminal activities, Swiss authorities will look into it.
