Taichung District Prosecutors Office Indicts Liao Gang-fa, Seeks 5-Year Sentence and Issues Wanted Notices for 4 Accomplices Who Left the Country
On October 6, the Taichung District Prosecutors Office indicted Hong Kong man Liao Gang-fa over the attack on Akio Yaita, accusing a 5-person gang of being hired to come to Taiwan to commit violence, and saying the public assault was intended to create a "kill one to warn a hundred" effect. Prosecutors are seeking a 5-year sentence, have issued wanted notices for 4 accomplices who had already left the country, and are pursuing the mastermind in a separate case.
