A journalist in Taiwan has been detained for allegedly bribing army officers to provide military information to individuals from mainland China. Taiwan's Qiaotou District Prosecutors Office announced the detention of a television reporter surnamed Lin and five current and retired military officers. Saturday’s statement didn’t identify the journalist, only using the surname Lin. Meanwhile, CTi TV separately said one of its reporters, Lin Chen-you, has been detained and that it wasn’t aware of the case details. Prosecutors accuse Lin of paying officers for information given to "Chinese individuals." Authorities raided the reporter's premises and those of military personnel. Allegations against journalists are unusual in Taiwan, which regularly pursues espionage cases.
