Officials from former president Chen Shui-bian’s (陳水扁) administration yesterday denied accusations that thousands of official documents had yet to be returned, putting them in possible breach of national security protocol.

In a statement last night, the Presidential Office accused officials from Chen’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration of failing to return documents — some classified — to national archives as required by law when Chen’s term ended in 2008.
