The Taipei District Court has issued an arrest warrant for Kao Chin Su-mei's former legislative office director after he jumped bail.

Chang was indicted along with Kao Chin and 22 other people in early June on charges of corruption and fraud-related charges related to the embezzlement of public funds and the importation (進口) of unapproved COVID-19 test kits from China.
He was released on 10-million N-T bail in June on health grounds.
