according to reports, the focus of the taiwan procuratorate and anti-corruption unit's investigation is, on the one hand, to consolidate the decision-making process of the jinghua city case, and on the other hand, to investigate the "golden flow" (capital flow) related to ke wenzhe and his family. last week, the taipei district prosecutor's office successively interrogated the detained defendants shen qingjing, chairman of the weijing group (jinghua city developer), ying xiaowei, a member of the kuomintang taipei city council, and peng zhensheng, former deputy mayor of taipei city, and summoned chen yukun, chairman of jinghua city, to explain. in addition, lin zhoumin, former director of the urban development bureau of the taipei city government, and li dequan, former deputy secretary-general of the taipei city government, were summoned to testify, and they were all sent back after the interrogation.

previously, in order to investigate whether ko wen-je's "financial flow" had any quid pro quo relationship with the jinghuacheng case, the taipei district prosecutors' office directed the "prosecution affairs officer" and the "integrity commission" on the 11th to go to several branches of taiwan first commercial bank with search warrants issued by the court. they checked the records of safe deposit boxes rented by ko wen-je's wife chen pei-chi and relatives and friends, and took chen pei-chi to the bank to open two safe deposit boxes under her name for investigation.

according to united news network, on the eve of the mid-autumn festival, ko wen-je's wife chen pei-chi and people's party representative huang shanshan went to the taipei detention center and spent the mid-autumn festival with ko wen-je in the detention center with their supporters. the report said that the current focus of the taiwan procuratorate and anti-corruption unit may be on the source of ko wen-je's political donations. in the three months before the election, ko wen-je's camp received nearly nt$200 million in cash donations, of which more than 300 donors requested anonymous sponsorship, which will become the focus of the investigation.

the plot ratio of jinghua city increased dramatically to 840% during ko wen-je's tenure as taipei mayor, sparking doubts from the outside world. the taiwan prosecutor's office and the anti-corruption unit are investigating whether bribery and profiteering are involved. at the end of august, they launched a search and interview operation and have applied to detain ko wen-je, peng zhensheng, shen qingjing, ying hsiao-wei and ying hsiao-wei's assistant wu shunmin, which has been approved.
