PANews reported on August 27 that according to the People's Political Consultative Conference website, China News Service disclosed that according to Taiwan media, a couple surnamed Li in Taichung was suspected of laundering money for multiple gaming groups, involving more than NT$1.6 billion. The case was recently prosecuted for money laundering and other crimes. In September last year, the police uncovered a gaming room that was disguised as an advertising company. After analyzing the seized evidence, they found that a 30-year-old man surnamed Li and his wife were suspected of laundering money for about 7 gaming groups. For more than a year, the money laundering room, under the banner of "high salary, easy, no experience required", recruited members around 20 years old to join, and hid in different places. They contacted each other through communication software on a daily basis to launder money in order to create a breakpoint for investigation, and used virtual currency to quickly transfer illegal profits.
The police revealed that they have transferred Li and others to the Taichung District Prosecutor's Office for investigation on suspicion of violating the "Organized Crime Prevention Act" and gambling, and have seized the house and other properties under the name of the Li couple, with a total of more than NT$73.2 million in illegal profits seized.
