The Kaohsiung branch forwarded the case to the Taipei branch, which questioned Lin Chiu-pei in May this year. During questioning, Lin Chiu-pei said that he was an employee of QST Corp and that his company had business transactions with Jui Chi, according to the indictment.

He denied he was facilitating illegal recruitment for Chinese companies. When asked why he had an office in Jui Chi, Lin Chiu-pei said it was to interact conveniently with Jui Chi engineers, Taipei Times quoted the indictment.

However, the investigating officers found that Lin Chiu-pei, Lin Cheng-ping and a worker Chen regularly reported to QST Corp on Jui Chi's operations, Taipei Times reported.

The investigating officers also asked for QST Corp's approval regarding Jui Chi's internal management, including recruitment, work records and other details, as per Taipei Times.

Prosecutors charged all three with contravening the Act Governing Relations Between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area, as per Taipei Times. (ANI)
