TAIPEI -- A Taipei court on Tuesday afternoon granted a prosecutors' request to detain three lawmakers involved in a bribery case after a two-day hearing.
The Taipei District Court agreed to detain Su Chen-ching, a lawmaker of the Democratic Progressive Party, as well as Chen Chao-ming and Liao Kuo-tung of the Kuomintang.
The court also ordered former New Power Party lawmaker Hsu Yung-ming to be released on bail.
