The Taipei court is to deliver a verdict on former Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian's corruption cases at around 4 p.m. Sept. 11 this year, sources with the court said Friday.

Chen was first indicted on Dec. 12 for money laundering and bribery. He and his wife were charged with embezzling 104 million New Taiwan dollars (3.15 million U.S. dollars) in public funds and accepting bribes of at least 9 million U.S. dollars in a land purchase deal.
