Darren Wang charged over plans for military evasion
18 Jun - Darren Wang has finally been charged for the offences involving dodging Taiwan's mandatory military service.
The Taiwanese actor joined 27 others who have also been charged, with the New Taipei District Prosecutors Office stating that he was charged for forgery of public documents.
It is noted that Darren paid a man named Chen Chih-ming to falsify his records so that he can evade military service. However, he eventually reported for duty in March this year, after the plan was not carried out due to Chen's arrest.
Nonetheless, despite knowing that his ID card and health insurance card were not lost but was given to an impostor, he still lied in February and applied to the Household Registration Office and the National Health Insurance Administration to reissue his ID card and health insurance card.
On the other hand, the rest of the men were charged with violating the Punishment Act for Violation to Military Service System after they falsified their health status to avoid service.
Prosecutors are also recommending a sentence of at least five years in prison for Chen for masterminding the draft evasions and earning NTD 7.63 million from it.
