Taiwan’s high court convicted eight people, including active-duty and retired military personnel, of collecting state secrets on behalf of China, the official Central News Agency reported, in one of the largest espionage cases in years.
The verdict on Thursday handed down sentences ranging from 1.5 to 13 years in prison. The ruling is eligible for appeal. One person who was previously indicted as part of the same investigation was found innocent, with another suspect still listed as wanted, the report said.
