Seven people in Taiwan have been detained on suspicion of spying for China at the Kaohsiung Branch of the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office. The group includes a retired Air Force Colonel and three active military officers in the Air Force and Navy.
Three other three active officers have been released on bail.
The investigation into the case is ongoing and it is believed that the retired colonel, Liu, recruited at least six other officers into his spy ring and received payments from the Chinese through a shell company. The Taiwan Ministry of National Defense has stated that the case was exposed through tip-offs from military personnel and that it will cooperate with prosecutors in their investigation.
Liu was recruited by the Chinese after retiring from the Air Force in 2013. He was then alleged to have used his personnel connections in the military to recruit other active military officers in the Navy and Air Force to join in the spying activities. The investigation into the case is ongoing.
