China Taiwan Network reported on November 6 that Taiwanese media reported that Ke Wenzhe, chairman of the People's Party and former mayor of Taipei City, was detained for two months after the Taipei District Court ruled that he was involved in the Beijing City scandal. , the Taipei City District Procuratorate applied for a two-month extension and was approved. Therefore, the island media frequently broke the news from the beginning of the case, and the Taipei District Procuratorate was questioned for violating the principle of "investigation non-disclosure". On the 4th, Wu Zongxian, the representative of the Chinese Kuomintang, led a delegation to the Taipei District Procuratorate to inspect the operation. The day before, the Taipei District Procuratorate swore that it had not violated the principle of "investigation non-disclosure." The next day (5th), Taiwanese media broke the news that Ke Wenzhe's detention was delayed because of a "ruling" that showed that Ke Wenzhe was in the mayor's office, The details of the case, including the acceptance of bribes during the ground-breaking ceremony of Jinghua City, aroused heated public discussion.

Former Republican Tsai Ching-yuan called the revelations "logically illogical" on the island's political commentary program. He bluntly said that in the Taipei City Government Building, the mayor kept records of everyone he met. He pulled out the audio and video recordings from the mayor’s office that day to first prove that Shen Qingjing, chairman of Taiwan Viking Group, was there that day, and also to prove that Shen Qingjing brought him with him. Enter the big suitcase.

Cai Zhengyuan also emphasized, "It is said that Ke Wenzhe received 1.5 million (New Taiwan dollars, the same below), 15 million, and 2.1 million bribes. Where is the cash? There will also be remittance records. In After searching Ke Wenzhe’s house for a long time, he couldn’t find any cash, which means there is no cash flow and he is breaking up.”

Taipei City Councilor You Shuhui of the Chinese Kuomintang posted on social media that the plot revealed by the media was too shocking and unimaginable. She analyzed that businessmen carrying huge amounts of cash openly entered the Taipei City Government Building full of surveillance cameras and paid bribes. Is it necessary to be so blatant? And if the Taipei District Procuratorate already knew that Ke Wenzhe accepted cash bribes in the mayor's office, why did it delay in prosecuting the case instead of pursuing secretary "Orange" Xu Zhiyu?

You Shuhui pointed out that the case has now become a bloody drama, and the outside world also believes that the source comes from the Taipei District Procuratorate. If the department does not clarify or refute in time, the final loss will be the "judicial image" of the Taiwan authorities.

Lin Siming, Secretary-General of the Chinese Kuomintang Party League, pointed out that on the 4th, Taiwan’s legislative body, the Judicial and Legal Affairs Committee, visited the Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office to understand the layout and planning of the media interview area and Taiwan’s prosecutor’s office, including whether reporters can easily obtain information during the investigation. Whether the data and media have the opportunity to see the files and notes of the ongoing case, whether the Taiwan prosecutor's office area is not properly arranged, etc. At that time, the Taipei District Procuratorate confirmed that the relevant arrangements were well done and very strict. Lin Siming questioned why the media repeatedly obtained secret investigation information and evidence. Who leaked it? He called on Taiwan's prosecutors to make things clear and not to engage in vague battles.

Ko Wenzhe’s legal team also changed their past practice of not commenting. On the 5th, they broke their silence and issued a joint statement, saying that in order to prevent Ke Wenzhe from being reported by the media and causing undue bias from the outside world, they issued a balanced statement on behalf of Ko Wenzhe, saying that the content of the media reports has yet to be reviewed by Taiwan. All persons shall be presumed innocent until proven guilty through trial. The statement also specifically emphasized that “defenders strictly abide by the ‘investigation non-disclosure’ norm.”

Wang Hongwei, the representative of the Chinese Kuomintang, said that since the investigation of Ke Wenzhe's case, the most criticized thing by the outside world is that "the investigation has not been open, and it has turned into an investigation that is indiscriminately open", and the Taipei local inspection department has continued to feed specific media.For example, some media broke the news that Ke Wenzhe wrote "orange Jinghua Departure" on a note in May this year. Although it was torn off, the handwriting left traces on the second and third pages, so forensics personnel confirmed that Ke Wenzhe There are these words written.

"Are these plots something that the media can guess at random? Or are they dreams of the media?" Wang Hongwei questioned, if these contents can fall into the hands of the media, of course there is a problem of leaks from the Taiwan Procuratorate, and why the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office The department can be so brazen and repeatedly leak details to specific media, "It is obvious that high-level officials are conniving and covering up!" She said directly, "The so-called 'non-disclosure of investigation' by the Taiwan Procuratorate has really become a world-class joke."(Source: China Taiwan Net)
