Taiwanese prosecutors on Saturday questioned former president Chen Shui-bian's wife in a corruption probe, days after the ex-leader was detained in connection with the same case. The wheelchair-bound Wu Shu-chen was questioned at her home in an up market Taipei district instead of the prosecutor's office due to her frail condition, prosecutors said. Wu is being questioned on suspicion of money laundering having previously been indicted for graft and forgery over the alleged embezzlement of around 15 million Taiwan dollars (about 450,000 US) during Chen's term in a case, which also implicates the former president.
