Wu Shu-chen, wife of Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian, fainted during her trial in Taipei today. Court proceedings were thus suspended.

The first session of Wu's trial on corruption charges opened today but she was taken to hospital after fainting, according to local media.

Wu is accused of embezzlement, forgery of documents and perjury involving 14.8 million New Taiwan dollars (US$448,500).

Prosecutors also claim to have evidence to indict Taiwan leader Chen on charges of graft and forgery of documents in connection with a secret office fund.

However, his status as leader renders him immune from criminal charges and any formal indictment against him will have to await the end of his term of office in 2008.

Another five people, including Chen's close aide Ma Yong-cheng, were indicted on charges involving the alleged misuse of funds.

At Friday's trial the judge asked the defendants to enter their pleas and arguments from the prosecution and the defense followed.  

Wu Shu-chen pled not guilty to the charges against her. She arrived at the court at 9:25 AM and didn't respond to questions from the media. 

People began queuing outside the court early in the morning in order to secure one of the few public seats in the courtroom. Anti-Chen demonstrators also gathered near the court.
