Liu's Kuomintang membership was suspended in August 2020, after he was detained and questioned regarding a legal case involving allegations of bribery.[10][11] The Taipei District Court ruled in July 2022 that Liao had violated the Anti-Corruption Act, sentenced him to eight years and six months imprisonment, and decided that he was to return NT$6.2 million in bribes.[12][13]
