Fu Kun-chi sentenced to three years, 10 monthsBy Jason Pan / Staff reporterThe Taiwan High Court on Wednesday ruled on three separate cases against independent Legislator Fu Kun-chi (傅崐萁), handing out a combined sentence of three years and 10 months. Fu last month reported to Hualien Prison to start serving a two-year-and-10-month sentence for insider trading and stock manipulation. Though nominally an independent legislator, Fu, a former Hualien County commissioner, is closely aligned with the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), despite leaving the party in 2009.

Fu and Hsu received prison sentences of six months and four months respectively or fines of NT$540,000 and NT$360,000.
