According to print media reports, the world's leading OEM company has exploded in the largest bribery case in history. Faced with the company's bribery scandal, Chairman Zhang Zhongmou was furious and not only ordered the investigation to the end, but also fired the person involved immediately and filed a high-value compensation lawsuit.
According to the report, relevant people familiar with the matter said that the case was previously reported by Japanese manufacturers to TSMC's legal department. Japanese manufacturers admitted that for the past 10 years, Guo, a engineer named Guo, who paid "advisor fees" to TSMC's testing department, still cannot obtain certification and entered TSMC's supply chain. In the face of unbearable losses of property, he then filed a report to TSMC.
According to reports, a major bribery case broke out in the testing department of the factory seven of TSMC Hsinchu Science Park. People familiar with the matter pointed out that the Japanese spring needle supplier was dissatisfied with the monthly remittance of "advisor fees" to the supervisors and engineers surnamed Yang and Su of the department, but they were still unable to have business dealings with TSMC, so they took the initiative to search for evidence and report with other suppliers. It is reported that the testing department's bribes include US, Japanese and Korean manufacturers, and the bribe projects include equipment, probes, and spring needle consumables required for wafer testing. In the past two years, it has been involved in more than 1 billion yuan ( New Taiwan dollars , the same below).
In response to this, Chairman Zhang Zhongmou immediately ordered the investigation to the end after understanding the situation. It is understood that the senior engineer named Guo, who asked for bribes, has been fired, and TSMC filed a lawsuit against him for 30 times the amount of bribes.
report pointed out that after two months of thorough investigations inside and outside the island, a senior engineer named Guo was fired in November last year. The other two are still under investigation because they did not find direct evidence of bribery. TSMC spokesman Sun Youwen confirmed that Guo had been fired by the company, but denied that the amount of bribes received exceeded 1 billion, saying that the correct number is inconvenient to disclose, but not that much.
Just after the engineer named Guo was fired, TSMC also sent a letter asking manufacturers to abide by their ethics.
