TAIPEI, Feb. 12 -- Taiwan's former chief prosecutor Huang Shyh-ming was sentenced to 15 months in prison on Thursday for leaking classified information related to prosecutors' investigations.
Huang was convicted of violating communication security and surveillance law by disclosing to Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou and then chief administrator Jiang Yi-huah details of the investigations involving legislative chief Wang Jin-pyng and opposition Democratic Progressive Party lawmaker Ker Chien-ming.
The court ruling against Huang is final, although the sentence can be commuted into a fine. The Taipei district court sentenced Huang last year to 14 months in prison.
Huang resigned as prosecutor chief after the district court ruling.
