"in comparison, the ke family's tiny safe is nothing."

taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was detained and denied access to visitors on september 5 for his involvement in the plot ratio fraud case of taipei city during his tenure as mayor. it has been nearly 10 days, and the media and celebrities have been revealing a lot of information about the prosecutor's investigation progress every day, causing strong protests from the taiwan people's party. combining these contents, it seems that the anti-corruption unit has not found any bribes for ko after more than 10 days of investigation, and he must be very anxious.

after ke wenzhe was involved in the case, taiwan's judicial departmentthe so-called investigation was not open to the public, and the information leaked by the media and celebrities, plus the exaggerated extension, is to make the outside world think that ko is seriously involved in the case. the political purpose is obvious, to destroy ko wen-je's image and the support of the taiwan people's party, to make the "little grass" disappointed and leave, and to make the kuomintang dare not support it, thus destroying the "blue and white coalition".however, so far,none of the revelations are enough to kill ke wenzhe.ko recently gave up his appeal, stressing that he did not want to embarrass the court, and asked the prosecutor to fulfill all his investigation obligations during the two-month detention period, saying that he would "do his best to cooperate with the investigation." now it is a showdown between ko and the prosecutors.

▲ ke wenzhe was interrogated on the 10th and 13th. although he did not say a word to the media, he smiled even when handcuffed, which aroused a lot of imagination.

the key to the ko case is whether he was seeking personal gain or taking bribes. the "crime of seeking personal gain" without taking bribes is highly controversial. the taiwan authorities have been known to seek personal gain from the people in many cases.in many places, there is no crime of profiteering. if taiwan's judicial system were to prosecute, convict, and sentence ko wen-je solely for profiteering, it would easily be equated with political suppression, and there would certainly be international pressure. the lai ching-te administration should be very aware of this.

sothe prosecution is now searching everywhere for evidence that ke accepted bribes, but many of the media reports seem to be mostly loud thunder with little substance.for example, the prosecutors reportedly found nt$1 million in cash and some old gold jewelry in two safes at ke's home on the 12th, which seemed like a big win.in terms of the principle of proportionality, the prosecutor pointed out in the detention court that "jinghua city obtained an 840% plot ratio, and the ko administration benefited the viking group by 20 billion yuan." if the target was 20 billion yuan, a bribe of 1 million yuan would be too little.another example is questioning the source of chen peiqi's 6.19 million deposits in 60 installments at the atm. later, she explained that 10 deposits a year was reasonable, especially since the ko couple were both senior doctors who had been practicing medicine for decades and had a lot of family assets.

some media have been hyping up the mysterious safe of the ko family.the most powerful safe is the one in chen shui-bian’s house.in 2008, when the special investigation team of the supreme prosecutors office of taiwan was investigating the chen case, it was discovered that the highest level of funds in the chen family exceeded 2 billion yuan, with 1.3 billion yuan stored in the insurance room of cathay united bank in xinyi district, taipei city. in addition, 75 loose diamonds and jadeite with a market value of more than 100 million yuan were seized, and the largest diamond was 5 carats.in comparison, the ke family’s small safe is nothing.

ko wen-je was not like the dpp’s zheng wen-can, who was found to have bags of cash in his bedroom at home.

the prosecution has recently added prosecutors who are proficient in virtual currencies to the case, which has led to the outside world thinking that ko may have accepted bribes through bitcoin, etc. however, everything still depends on evidence. if the detention period expires and nothing is found, it will be controversial.

recently, several officials from the ko administration have been accused of bribery, and there are even witnesses who say that the jinghuacheng case was ordered by ko wen-je, and the island's famous commentators have also described it vividly. however, from a "legal" perspective, even if the jinghuacheng case was ordered by ko wen-je, as long as there is no evidence that he accepted bribes, he cannot be charged with "corruption."now the prosecutors want to bring down ko, and everything depends on the evidence. if they still can't find anything, the prosecutors and the democratic progressive party will be hurt.
