Accusations of infringement of media freedom were leveled against Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Su Chen-ching (蘇震清) after a photographer sustained a head injury in a scuffle.
On Friday, Su was released on NT$10 million (US$351,964) bail after being detained for 179 days amid a corruption probe relating to a Pacific SOGO Department Store ownership battle.
Videos of the incident showed Su and men escorting him exiting the Taipei District Court amid a large media presence.
