Chen Shui-bian Arrest: Chen Shui-bian Detained for Alleged Money-Laundering! Former Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian was arrested and detained on Wednesday.

Though he pleaded his arrest was highly politically motivated, apparently, Chen Shui-bian might not be as innoncent as he claimed. When he was still the “President” of Taiwan, his son-in-law Chen Jien-ming was arrested and evenatually sentenced to 7 years in prison for the insider stock trading, wife Wu Shu-chien wired US$20 million abroad, and daughter-in-law’s Swiss bank accounts received 21 million US dollars ….
