Liang said the case is classified as one in which prosecutors are still looking for evidence and do not yet regard it as a crime.

"However, through the way Lee Tsu-chun was asking questions, it seemed to me that he believed it was a vote-buying case and was looking for criminals, not evidence," Liang said.

Prosecutors' office spokesman Chen Sung-chi (陳松吉) said he appreciated Chen Shui-bian's cooperation and that Lee Tsu-chun has decided not to list more defendants in the case at this time. Chen Sung-chi added the case is still classified as one in which more evidence must be gathered.
