On 13 January 2022, Lin was one of several Yilan government officials questioned during an investigation into suspected corruption.[7][8] Prosecutors clarified the next day that several cases were being investigated, and that Lin had been released without bail after the questioning concluded.[9] A second round of questioning took place on 22 February 2022, focusing on value-added tax exemptions for a Luodong Township property granted in 2019, and subsequent revisions to the township’s urban development plans.[10][11] Investigators later stated that they had tracked nearly NT$100 million in transfers, dating to the early 2000s, to Lin and her relatives from Yang Chi-hsiung.[12] In August 2022, the Yilan County Prosecutors’ Office charged Lin, her daughter, and several others with corruption.[13]
