While under investigation, back in Spring 2006, Dr. Shieh was formally restricted from travelling outside of Taiwan.
Finally, more than two years later, the foreign travel restriction has finally been lifted.
On August 25, 2008 the Tainan District Court House, following the judges’ “not guilty” verdict, issued an official document (no. 970041430), which referenced the "Very high profile and serious Indictment Case No. 1." Here is a summary of what appears in the document (a copy of which is shown below):
Subject:
