AI Summary (NQ-processed)

Chang Chun-chieh, assistant to Legislator Kao Chin Su-mei, has been ordered to be detained for another two months in connection with three fraud cases: fraudulent claims for assistant fees, illegal import of COVID-19 test kits, and fraudulent claims for association subsidies. While Kao Chin Su-mei was released on NT$1 million bail, Chang Chun-chieh was deemed to have played a leading role and was ordered by the Taipei District Court to be detained until June 10 due to flight risk and potential collusion. The cases involve using straw persons to claim assistant fees, illicitly obtaining subsidies through the Taiwan Indigenous Multi-Ethnic Cultural Exchange Association, and illegally importing COVID-19 test kits from China. Prosecutors believe Chang Chun-chieh played a pivotal role in all three cases.
