They all allegedly helped Su gain financing from the bank, although Su had a poor credit history and was not qualified for the mortgage.
Chinese-language media have reported that prosecutors hurried to wrap up the first indictment yesterday because their deadline for indicting or relasing two of the major suspects -- Hsieh and Lee Ming-che -- falls tomorrow.
Hsieh and Lee have been detained since Oct. 17 last year. Under the Code of Criminal Procedure (刑事訴訟法), a detention request is valid for two months if approved by judges connected to the case.
Prosecutors may request another two months, making the total length of the detention four months, if necessary.
