The Agency, in conjunction with the Taiwan Pingtung District Prosecutors Office and the Pingtung County Field Office of the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau, investigated Mayor Gu X of Changjhih Township, Pingtung County, who instructed Chang Y, a section assistant in the Finance and Accounting Section, to use fake receipts to approve reimbursements for expenses such as birthday party fees for family members, private lawyer fees, and concert souvenirs. Gu X knew he had not gone to the restaurants to consume the food, but he still instructed Chang Y to approve the reimbursements. The total amount of fraudulent reimbursements was NT$104,900.

After the investigation was concluded, the prosecutor indicted Gu X and others for suspicion of fraudulently taking property under cover of legal authority under the Anti-Corruption Act, and causing a false document to be made by a public official under the Criminal Code.
