Three men charged in Taiwan's solar power corruption scandal will stay under electronic monitoring and travel bans for another eight months — a sign prosecutors are still tightening the screws on a major state-linked graft case.

• A Tainan court extended restrictions on former Taiyen Green Energy chairman Chen Chi-yu and two others for eight more months.
• All three must stay in the country, wear ankle monitors, avoid contact with witnesses, and check in daily by phone selfie.
• Chen faces a requested 12-year sentence for his role in the solar project scandal; the former general manager faces a requested 10 years.
• The three were released on bail in January after nearly a year in detention, with Chen posting the largest bond.

Outlook: The case remains in trial at the Tainan district court, and the extended restrictions suggest no verdict is close.
