Lee is accused of taking the money from a secret diplomatic fund during his 1988-2000 leadership.

Prosecutors say the 88-year-old took money from the "National Security Bureau" fund to set up a private think tank, of which he became honorary leader.

Lee, who was the island's first directly elected leader, has denied taking the money from the bureau.

He is the second former Taiwanese leader to be charged with fraud. His successor, Chen Shui-bian, is serving a 17-year sentence for bribery.

'Political ploy'

In a 23-page indictment, the prosecutors allege that Lee and his right-hand man Liu Tai-ying stole public funds and laundered the money through a property fund.

They say that in 1994 Taiwan wanted to donate $10.5m to an unidentified country, as part of the island's policy of so-called cheque-book diplomacy.

The "Foreign Ministry" did not have enough money, so a loan was provided by the "National Security Bureau".

Lee and Liu are accused of siphoning off almost $8m dollars when the loan was repaid.

"This is incredible. leader Ma is using this political tactic when his election campaign is at the lowest point," said the union's Huang Kun-hui.

But chief prosecutor Chen Hong-ta insisted there was evidence to prove Lee's guilt.

"Without the leader's approval and instruction, no-one could have used this fund, so the defendant's plea is just an excuse," he said. (BBC)
