Manila, Philippines (4E) – Philippine investigators recommended the filing of criminal charges against the Filipino coast guards allegedly involved in the shooting death of a Taiwanese fisherman last month according to a Philippine newspaper.
The source said the incident took place within 79.2 kilometers of Philippine territory and 316.8 km from Taiwanese territory.
But the Coast Guard’s claim that the fishing boat Guan Ta Hsin 28 tried to ram the coastal patrol vessel MCS-3001 was disproved, the source said.
The shooting death of the fisherman sparked a major diplomatic row between Taiwan and the Philippines.
