From AFP<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Former Taiwanese president Chen Shui-bian<\/a> on Wednesday rejected allegations that he embezzled nearly 500,000 US dollars in state funds, telling prosecutors he had done nothing wrong.<\/p>\n

“I was not corrupt,” Chen told reporters after he was questioned for more than four hours by prosecutors over his alleged wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

The questioning came one month after President Ma Ying-jeou declassified documents that allegedly implicate Chen — mainly receipts and records relating to the former leader’s use of special expenses from 2000-2006.<\/p>\n

“I did not take money out of the special expenses and put it into my own pockets, nor did I funnel it abroad,” Chen said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
