Interior Ministry probing legality of Hualien deputy appointment
Interior Chien Tai-lang
Minister of the Interior Chien Tai-lang  said that he had called Fu Sunday evening and the divorce was confirmed. Admitting that Fu might be playing with a "grey area" of the law  Chien said that the authorities would look into whether Fu and his "ex-wife" are still living under the same roof.
 Chien pointed out that it is against the law for the holder of a public office to appoint a spouse or a member of the family living under the same roof as his or her deputy. The regulation is meant to avoid conflict of interest  he added.
 Chien said that as long as Hsu is still living with the Fu family  she would not qualify for the post.
 According to Chien  the relevant authorities will decide on the case based on facts.
