A great-grandson of former Taiwanese leader Chiang Kai-shek was charged on Thursday with making threats against staff at his old school.

Andrew Chiang You-ching was detained for questioning early this month after the Taipei American School told police he had threatened the institution and its staff.

The 23-year-old was later released on bail of NT$80,000 (HK$20,906).

“Since August, Andrew Chiang had frequently posted threats on his Facebook page and e-mailed them to relevant school staff,” prosecutors in the Taipei District Court said in the indictment.

If convicted he could face a jail term of up to four years.
