Amounted to NT$ 74. 62 million.
The National Joint Auction held on the “first” “Tuesday” of every month, starting at
“3” p.m. managed by each Branch of the Administrative Enforcement Agency (AEA),
Ministry of Justice (MOJ) was held today (July 2) and along with the arrival of summer
vacation, each Branch creatively made auctions treasure hunts for bidders at the total auction
amount of NT$74,625,977, achieving a great result for the administrative enforcement. The
Branches also conducted anti-scam and anti-drug promotion activities before the auction to
give the general public the knowledge to resolutely reject drugs and be vigilant against
scams!
The total amount of auctions of real estate reached NT$69,957,681, with the highest
auction amount being the Taipei Branch’s NT$42.175 million for the five-story villa owned
by the person surnamed Meng, who was the spouse of former Colonel Liu of the National
Security Bureau. Colonel Liu was responsible for utilizing the confidential funds for the
operation of the “Feng-Tian Project” and abused the power of his position to embezzle
nearly NT$200 million from secret accounts of national security. After being exposed, he
fled to China, and the villa located in the Wenshan District of Taipei City, purchased by his
spouse, surnamed Meng, with NT$38.15 million from the money embezzled, was seized by
the court. The Shilin District Prosecutor's Office via the Shilin Branch asked the Taipei
Branch to conduct an auction. The total area ofthe villa building was approximately 457.39
square meters (including the extension parts), being unoccupied and will be delivered right
after being totally auctioned. It was its third auction, and the upset price dropped to NT$37.3
million, far lower than the market price. The final auction price was NT$42.175 million,
with a premium of more than NT$4.87 million, which once again demonstrated the
resolution of AEA to cooperate with prosecutors to fight crime and uphold fairness and
justice. In addition, the Hualien Branch auctioned one hot spring suite at the “Yixuan Hot
Spring Building” located at Longquan Road, Beinan Township, Taitung County. Because
the Branch offered 360-degree panoramic photos on the auction website, and the building
was close to the famous tourist attractions known as Orange Daylily–Kinchen Mountain
and Duoliang Station, etc., the bidders made their bids enthusiastically, and the auction price
reached NT$908,111. The Pingtung Branch auctioned the land located at the place behind
the famous wonton and pig's trotters shop in Ligang, Pingtung. The creditors acquired the
land at NT$3.05 million, making the average price per square meter only slightly over
NT$130,000. Other branches also sold out several good pieces of real properties through
the auction. During inflation of house price, it would be a good decision to buy it at auctions
for either self-use or investment purposes.

As for personal properties, the total auction amount reached NT$4,668,296 as visitors
actively made bids. The most eye-catching one was the Hsinchu Branch's auction of a black

seized by the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office during the investigation of a suspected scam
case of selling columbarium for NT$3.351 million. 20 groups of bidders participated in and
actively made the bids regardless of the blazing hot sun, and the final action price reached
nearly an amount nearly NT$600,000 higher than the upset price. The Changhua Branch
held the “Guashan Foreclosure and Charity Market” sale at the Office in Nantou to sell
Shanlinxi Tea which was sold instantly and exquisite wood carvings and handicrafts, and
the total sales reached more than NT$97,085. The Shilin Office auctioned fortune crystal
ornaments, the chaise lounge and several items from the Yao X Technology Co., Ltd. who
