on september 5, the taipei district court held a detention hearing. ko wen-je, the former mayor of taipei and chairman of the taiwan people's party, who was involved in the jinghua city shopping center floor area ratio scandal, may face detention and no visitors again.

according to local media reports, on the morning of the 5th, kuomintang chairman eric chu said in an interview with the media after attending a press conference on the party's youth recruitment project, "everyone is watching today. i hope the judges can uphold the principles of judicial fairness, neither injustice nor leniency, and not pre-set their positions."

regarding the list of the president, deputy president and five other so-called "justices" of taiwan's judiciary previously announced by the dpp authorities, zhu lilun said that most of them are "representatives of colors and guardians of ideology."

ko wen-je was involved in the legal controversy this time because he was accused of being involved in the jinghua city scandal while serving as mayor of taipei city.

according to previous media reports, the jinghuacheng shopping center in taipei is an investment property of the weijing group. in 2011, jinghuacheng applied to the taipei city government for land use revision on the grounds of poor management, hoping to increase the plot ratio (the ratio of the total building area of ​​all types of buildings above the ground to the base area within a certain base) from 392% to 560%, but was rejected by the city government. in 2016, jinghuacheng again petitioned the taipei city government to increase the plot ratio. at that time, ke wenzhe was the mayor of taipei. two years later, the taipei city government set the plot ratio of jinghuacheng at 560%. in 2021, the taipei city urban planning committee increased the plot ratio of jinghuacheng to 840%.

recently, the taipei district prosecutors' office and the dpp authorities' "integrity bureau" investigated the jinghua city scandal.

on august 30, the taipei district prosecutors' office and the dpp authorities' "integrity bureau" took ko wen-je away for questioning. on august 31, the taipei prosecutors' office applied to the court to detain ko wen-je and deny him access to visitors on charges of corruption and bribery in violation of his duties. in the early morning of september 2, the taipei district court believed that the evidence provided by the prosecutors could not prove that ko wen-je was seriously suspected of committing a crime, and ruled to release him without bail. on the 3rd, the taipei prosecutors' office appealed the taipei district court's decision to release him without bail, requesting the "high court" to revoke the original decision. on the 4th, the taiwan "high court" revoked the decision to release him without bail and sent it back to the taipei district court for a new decision. on the 5th, the taipei district court held a detention hearing. ko wen-je arrived at around 9:10, walked into the court with a smile on his face, and did not say a word when facing questions from the media on the scene.
