Taipei, Aug. 13 (CNA) The Supreme Court has granted a request to seize over US$400 million in funds from the heirs of Andrew Wang (汪傳浦), an arms broker at the center of a scandal involving the Taiwan Navy's purchase of Lafayette frigates from France in the 1990s.
The Kaohsiung branch of the Taiwan High Court yesterday handed a heavier, 10-year sentence to a man after his three-year-old daughter died from an air pump at a gas station.
The city’s Ciaotou District Court had earlier given the man, surnamed Kuang (鄺), a 22-month prison term, which many viewed as too lenient. Yesterday’s ruling was the second and can be appealed.
The High Court found Kuang guilty of deliberately causing injury to a child resulting in death.
Investigators said the girl’s hand was too small to handle the air pump herself or to have exerted enough force to release the air.
