Among them was Ho Jen-chieh, a former secretary to then-Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, who currently leads the National Security Council. 

Ho was accused of collecting classified documents and passing them to Huang Chu-jung, who then transmitted the information to Chinese intelligence agents through encrypted software in exchange for money, according to the court. 

Huang also recruited a former political adviser at Lai’s office—during Lai’s tenure as vice president under the previous administration of Tsai Ing-wen—through Chiu Shih-yuan.
