taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was arrested by prosecutors, and his lawyer filed a request for a arraignment with the taipei district court. according to a report by china times on august 31, the taipei district court held a arraignment hearing on the 31st and ruled that the request was rejected, and ko wen-je was sent back to the taipei district prosecutor's office.

according to reports, ko wen-je said at the end of the hearing that the search began at around 7 a.m. yesterday, and the interrogation at the "independence agency" began at around 1 p.m. and lasted until around 2 a.m., a whole day long. he also asked irrelevant questions. the prosecutor did not consider the personal situation and time of the parties involved. this system and practice are wrong.

the court ruling pointed out that in this case, since ko wen-je had been summoned or appeared on his own, the prosecutor did have the facts or intention to interrogate the applicant regarding the jinghua city case. after the interrogation, the prosecutor also claimed that there were reasons and necessity to detain ko wen-je, which was consistent with the provisions of article 228, paragraph 4 of the relevant law. therefore, the arrest in this case should be well-founded.

the ruling stated that ko wen-je's request for retrial was groundless and should be rejected, and he should be returned to the original agency, the taipei district prosecutors office.

on august 30, the taipei district prosecutors' office and the "integrity commission" summoned people's party chairman ko wen-je and four others for questioning regarding the jinghua city case. ko wen-je was transferred to the taipei district prosecutors' office for re-interrogation on the early morning of the 31st on charges of profiteering. ko wen-je believed that this was a fatigue interrogation and intended to leave the district prosecutors' office, but was arrested in court by the prosecutor.

ko wen-je's lawyer said that it was late and ko wen-je could not accept such a tiring interrogation, so he advocated refusing the night interrogation. the prosecutor believed that ko wen-je could not be allowed to leave, so he was arrested in court. the lawyer will later apply to the taipei district court for a hearing, and the judge will confirm whether the arrest is legal.

taiwan's sanli news network reported that it is understood that after entering the investigation court, ko wen-je expressed his tiredness to the prosecutor and kept asking the prosecutor for a rest. originally, the prosecutor only allowed him to rest for three hours, but ko wen-je thought it was not enough. the prosecutor said otherwise he would have to be arrested in court. therefore, his lawyer believes that ko wen-je was not arrested because of a serious crime, but because the prosecutor wanted to continue the tiring investigation and the arrest was flawed, so he will request a retrial.

during his tenure as mayor of taipei, ko wen-je relaxed the plot ratio of jinghua city (the ratio of the total floor area of ​​all types of buildings above the ground to the site area within a certain site) to 840%, sparking controversy. in order to find out whether ko wen-je had violated the law and was involved in the crime of profiteering, the taiwan authorities' anti-corruption unit went to ko wen-je's residence in taipei city early in the morning on august 30 to conduct a search. after about 4.5 hours of searching, ko wen-je walked out of the door of his residence at around 11:53 on the 30th. when he accepted a joint interview, he said, "i am very open." ko wen-je then got in his own car and followed the "integrity commission" car to the "integrity commission" for interrogation.
