It’s hard to get out of the trap of fraudulently claiming assistant fees! Blue and Green parties once wanted to join forces to "decriminalize"│Mirror News reporters Yan Kaixu and Chen Xinrui News link: There are endless cases of legislators suspected of defrauding assistant fees, especially when they served as county and city councilors.

Even though the Legislative Yuan passed the third reading last year to adjust the assistant fee subsidy, many councilors still felt it was not enough and continued to pay out of their own pockets to maintain office operations, but corruption cases still occur again and again, and it seems to have become a historical common karma. Attorney Zhang Kaixin of Fidelity Law Office said that in the case of Gao Hongan's assistant fee, the judge believed that the relevant provisions of assistant fees were unclear and therefore applied for constitutional interpretation, but the Grand Justices did not accept it. Therefore, in the current situation, the misappropriation of assistant fees is still a problem.

Attorney Li Yusheng of Fidelity Law Office said that the prosecutors appealed the original bail decision because they believed that Chen Yijun was a legislator.
