BBC: Taiwan's Chen in corruption case

Taiwan's Chen in corruption case

Taiwanese prosecutors say they have enough evidence to charge President Chen Shui-bian with corruption - but he is protected by presidential immunity.

They have filed corruption charges against first lady Wu Shu-chen and three former presidential aides over the alleged misuse of state funds.

Taiwan's opposition immediately called for the president's resignation.

President Chen has been undermined by a series of scandals involving his family and his office in recent months.
