Former premier Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺) and former prosecutor-general Huang Shih-ming (黃世銘) were also summoned as witnesses against Ma in the lawsuit filed by Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Ker Chien-ming (柯建銘). The office said it was not precluding having the three questioned together to check their statements. Huang broke confidentiality laws by bringing the investigation to Ma’s attention, and did so again when he informed Jiang of the investigation. Ma is suspected of a second count of soliciting a breach in confidentiality of information on Sept. 4, 2013, when he asked Huang Shih-ming to brief Jiang on the investigation. Ma is only now being summoned to speak to investigators about the case as he held prosecutorial immunity as then-president of the nation.
