Taiwanese court orders former president to be detained

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A Taiwanese court has ordered the detention of former President Chen Shui-bian on corruption charges. Wednesday’s decision follows a lengthy probe of Chen, climaxing in more than five hours of direct questioning by prosecutors. The case against Chen centers on suspicions he was involved in a money laundering scheme during his just concluded presidency. The former president maintains he is innocent of the charges. The 57-year-old Chen is expected to be transferred to Tucheng Jail.
