ko wen-je, chairman of the people's party, was involved in the jinghua city scandal while serving as mayor of taipei. on the 30th, the taipei district prosecutors office divided into seven groups to search and interview ko wen-je and others. according to china times news in the early morning of the 31st, ko wen-je was arrested in court by the prosecutor for refusing to be interrogated at night.

ko wen-je's lawyer zheng shenyuan said in an interview that because it was late, ko wen-je insisted on refusing night interrogation, and the prosecutor believed that he could not be allowed to leave, so he was arrested in court. zheng shenyuan said that he would later request a retrial with the taipei district court, and the judge would confirm whether the arrest was legal.

according to reports, the taiwan authorities' "integrity commission" summoned two defendants, ke wenzhe and peng zhensheng, as well as two witnesses, ke wenzhe's wife chen peiqi and peng zhensheng's wife surnamed xie, on the 30th. in the early morning of the 31st, ke wenzhe was transferred from the "integrity commission" to the taipei district prosecutor's office for re-interrogation. peng's wife was allowed to return at 2:30 on the 31st.

it is understood that the icac held a project meeting this week and is expected to search and interview ko wen-je in the near future. since the taipei city councilor ying hsiao-wei involved in the case suddenly intended to leave hong kong on the 27th, the icac urgently arrested her and brought her to justice, so they closed the net ahead of schedule and launched a large-scale search in 48 groups on the 28th.

on the 29th, when the "icac" detained ying hsiao-wei, her assistant wu shunmin, and shen qingjing, it also held a pre-duty meeting to arrange the details of the search for ko wen-je.
