the taipei district prosecutors' office is investigating the floor area ratio scandal of jinghua city. on the 30th, it directed the "integrity agency" to search and summon people's party chairman ko wen-je. ko wen-je was transferred to the taipei district prosecutors' office for re-interrogation on the charge of profiteering in the early morning of the 31st. unexpectedly, as soon as the prosecutor started the interrogation, ko wen-je claimed that the investigation of the case had taken too long and he was obviously tired of the interrogation. therefore, he refused the night interrogation and told the prosecutor in court that he was leaving. the prosecutor arrested ko wen-je in court. his lawyer believed that the arrest was illegal and requested a retrial, but the court ruled to reject it. after another interrogation this afternoon, the taipei district prosecutors' office believed that ko wen-je was seriously suspected of collusion based on the comparison of the seized evidence, and requested the court to detain him without permission.

it is understood that after ko wen-je's request for a retrial was rejected, he first returned to the detention room of the taipei district prosecutors office from the taipei district court. when the prosecutor was about to open an investigative court, the bailiff's office determined that it was necessary to use restraints based on the situation at the time, so they took the initiative to handcuff ko wen-je. this was the first time ko wen-je was handcuffed since he entered politics, and now he is facing detention again, which has dealt a heavy blow to his political career.

in addition, former taipei city deputy mayor peng zhensheng was suspected of corruption and profiteering. in the early morning of the 30th, the prosecutor requested that he be detained and denied access to visitors because of the risk of collusion and escape. it is expected that the taipei district court will open a trial in the evening. ke wenzhe's wife chen peiqi and peng zhensheng's wife xie xiaqiao, who were interviewed as witnesses in the same case, were asked to return after the interrogation.

regarding this matter, former legislator guo zhengliang said on the 31st that ko wen-je went directly to the taipei district court for a hearing, but the hearing was rejected. if the court approves the hearing, ko wen-je can leave, but a rejection means that he will have to go back to the taipei district court for a hearing, so the 24-hour count will be reset, and a decision must be made within 24 hours to detain or release him.

guo zhengliang pointed out that since peng zhensheng has been detained, the charge is for profiteering. it is not surprising that ke wenzhe was detained by the northern district prosecutors office, because his logic is the same as peng zhensheng's.

guo zhengliang also pointed out that the prosecutors want to find the most serious crime. they have already established their convictions and believe that profiteering has been confirmed. now they are investigating whether there is bribery and whether there is any money flowing to ko wen-je. so they were asking about mu ke’s money before, and the prosecutors must be investigating small donations. they said that the prosecutors did not find large remittances, not like taipei city councillor ying hsiao-wei, who received nt$45 million in one month, which was shocking and was discovered all at once. so the prosecutors are investigating mu ke’s related funds and whether there are any friends of shen qingjing, chairman of the weijing group.
