A Control Yuan investigation into the 1992 purchase of French-made Mirage 2000s has concluded that the purchase was flawed and that the Air Force General Headquarters paid NT$36 billion more for the planes than the original price, according to a report leaked to a Chinese-language newspaper.

The daily revealed yesterday the details of a report on the purchase of the jets by a Control Yuan special task force.

The daily also published details of the contract, which was supposed to remain confidential.

The Control Yuan task force originally planned to present the report for review yesterday, but withdrew the report after the details were leaked. The Control Yuan threatened that reporters might be charged for revealing national secrets.
