according to reports, the taipei district prosecutors' office summoned ko wen-je on the afternoon of the 10th. this was the second time ko wen-je had appeared in public since he was detained and denied access to visitors by the taipei district court on september 5.

according to reports, the focus of the prosecutor's interrogation today is to clarify whether ko wen-je is suspected of violating the "law" and cooperating in increasing the floor area ratio of jinghua city to 840%, thereby benefiting the weijing group (the developer of jinghua city) by more than nt$20 billion.

china times reported that the taipei district prosecutors' office investigated the jinghua city case and suspected that during ko wen-je's tenure as mayor of taipei, he and then-deputy mayor peng zhensheng knew that the reconstruction of jinghua city was not in compliance with regulations, but violated the "law" and required the contracting staff to cooperate in giving volume rewards and led the taipei city urban planning committee to decide to increase the floor area ratio, thereby benefiting the weijing group by more than 20 billion yuan, and suspected of taking bribes.

ko wen-je was detained and denied access to visitors because of his involvement in the jinghuacheng case. the taipei district court originally believed that ko wen-je's "involvement was not serious" and ruled that he should be released without bail, but the prosecutor successfully appealed and the taipei district court ruled on the 5th that ko wen-je should be detained and denied access to visitors. ko wen-je's lawyers issued a statement on the 9th saying that ko wen-je decided not to appeal and asked the prosecutor to fulfill all investigation obligations during the 2-month detention period, and ko would do his best to cooperate with the investigation.

according to reports, both ko wen-je and peng zhen-sheng have denied seeking personal gain or accepting bribes. the taipei district prosecutors office first questioned peng zhen-sheng on the morning of the 10th, and then questioned ko wen-je in the afternoon to clarify the decision-making process of increasing the plot ratio of jinghua city and whether ko wen-je instructed or cooperated. it is not ruled out that the two will be interrogated separately to clarify the differences in their statements.
