5 Jul – Taiwan's famous television host Jacky Wu has decided to file a lawsuit against Apple Daily for publishing a false report claiming that he had a debt of more than NT$600million (USD 20million) and most of his properties had been seized by a district court.
According to Apple Daily, Chin Hsiang-Yu, one of Jacky's creditors had recently applied to the Taipei District Court for the seizure of all the properties under Jacky's name as well as his personal bank accounts.
