By Jason Pan / Staff reporterAuthorities have arrested a retired colonel for allegedly passing on military information to China in return for money and sex. The Kaohsiung District Prosecutors’ Office said that they raided the Pingtung County residence of a retired colonel surnamed Lan (藍) last month and have sufficient evidence to charge him with breaches of the National Security Act (國家安全法) and offenses against state security. Lan secured an executive position at the Dongguan textile factory with a monthly salary of NT$90,000. Lan returned to Taiwan in 2016, and investigators, after receiving tip-offs about his espionage activities, put him under surveillance. Raids were conducted last month, but due to the sensitive nature of the case, authorities only released the information recently.
