The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office Special Investigation Division (SID) yesterday closed its investigation into Yu Chang Biologics Co (宇昌生技股份有限公司), now known as TaiMed Biologics Inc (中裕新藥股份有限公司), clearing former Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) chairperson Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) of any wrongdoing.

The SID launched its investigation during the presidential campaign after Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmakers accused Tsai of manipulating investments by the National Development Fund (NDF) in TaiMed when she was vice premier in 2007. Tsai served as chairperson of the biotech company for several months after she stepped down as vice premier in May 2007.
