Two people detained over suspected spying for China - TW

A former official with the Military Intelligence Bureau (MIB) was yesterday taken into custody by law enforcers for alleged attempts to collect intelligence for China, the Ministry of National Defense (MND) said.

Also arrested was an incumbent official with the MIB, suspected of having provided information to his former colleague, the MND said.

"Although the two have current or past work connections with the MIB, their alleged espionage was discovered early and damage caused to the country has been contained," it said.

The two suspected spies were identified as 58-year-old Tseng Chao-wen (曾昭文), the ex-MIB official, and 55-year-old Chen Tsui-chung (陳穗瓊), Tseng's former colleague at the MIB and now still working for the bureau.

Tseng left the MIB 15 years ago because of what was described as "personal misconduct."
