On 16, March, 2011, Tsai's long-term colleague in D4 (Intelligence Analyses), Li Sheng-dong being the director stationed in Germany, suddenly ran away from the ongoing counterintelligence investigation process of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV, German: Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz or Bundesverfassungsschutz) back to Taipei without notification, however received no disciplinary measure but continual seniority promotions till Li's retirement 3 years later, causing internal morale concerns,[4] hence both were reported and questioned by the hearing of Judiciary and Organic Laws Committee in the Legislative Yuan in December 2013, whereas both firmly denied every accusation.[5]
