some lawyers analyzed that the detention of li wenzong and zhu yahu means that the prosecutors have grasped the relevant financial flows and the evidence has been supported by the court. ke wenzhe may face conviction.

the taipei district prosecutor's office investigated the jinghua city case. the taipei district court ruled late the night before yesterday (28th) that li wenzong, the "big accountant" of the people's party chairman ko wenzhe, and zhu yahu, the former chairman of weijin subsidiary dingyue development, should not be detained. the court stated yesterday that li and zhu were involved in corruption, bribery and other crimes, and the crime suspicions were serious and there was a risk of collusion with evidence. although zhu yahu pleaded guilty, considering his ability to abscond and live overseas, the court ruled that his detention was prohibited.

since li wenzong once held important positions such as chief financial officer and office director of ke wenzhe's campaign office, and was ke wenzhe's core financial staff, some lawyers analyzed that his detention means that the prosecutors have grasped the relevant financial flows, and the evidence has been supported by the court, and ke wenzhe may face conviction.

zhu yahu pleads guilty and li wenzong denies taking bribes

the north court pointed out yesterday morning that li wenzong denied committing any crime, but based on the relevant evidence and information in the investigation file, he could be found guilty of committing the "corruption crime regulations", "accepting bribery in violation of duty", and "criminal law" breach of trust, and the suspicion of crime is serious. the judge cannot rule out that there are still potential accomplices or witnesses who have an interest in li wenzong and have not yet arrived at the case. they may collude with accomplices or witnesses, making the case dark and unclear, and there is a risk of colluding with accomplices or witnesses.

after interrogation, zhu yahu confessed to the crime mentioned in the petition, and it can be determined that the defendant was involved in the crime of "bribery of civil servants for violations of their duties", which is a serious crime.

the judge pointed out that most of zhu yahu's family members live overseas and have purchased properties overseas. he is considered to have the ability to abscond and live overseas, and has a strong motive to escape overseas to avoid responsibility. he is considered to be at risk of fleeing.

there are still many doubts about the criminal contact and sharing of actions between zhu yahu and shen qingjing and others, which need to be further investigated and clarified by prosecutors. before the facts of the crime in this case are found out, the defendant may collude with accomplices or witnesses in order to reduce his guilt.

the taipei district prosecutor's office did not express its opinion yesterday. however, it is understood that prosecutors believe that zhu yahu is a briber and li wenzong is a "white glove" bribe collector. the two play key roles in cash flow. it is expected that there will be further investigations in the near future.

it is reported that up to now, the number of people detained in connection with the jinghua city scandal during the term of taipei mayor ko wenzhe has increased to 7.

was ke wenzhe involved in money-grabbing found?

according to reports, li wenzong is a high school classmate of ke wenzhe, and the two have been friends for more than 40 years. after zhu yahu served as the director of the military service bureau of the taipei city government, he was transferred to the chairman of dingyue development. it is suspected that weiking group used him as a matchmaker to bribe li wenzong.

in response to the flow of bribes, taipei city councilor jian shupei of the democratic progressive party posted on a social media platform claiming that seven employees of weiking group each donated nt$300,000 (nt$, the same below) to the people's party's political donation account in 2020. the day after the donation, huang jingmao, then director of the taipei city urban development bureau, responded to the letter saying that he would "submit jinghua city's petition letter to the metropolitan committee." she questioned: "it's true that these donations came in, and then the director of our development bureau approved them. is it such a coincidence?"

in response to this accusation, people's party spokesperson dai yuwen said that his political donations were handled in accordance with regulations and were made available online for external inspection. this is consistent with the 6 million yuan that was seized earlier by zheng wencan, the former head of the taiwan administrative agency of the democratic progressive party. illegal political contributions are completely different. "are you deliberately maliciously linking the political donations to the time when the metropolitan development bureau issued the document, and are you trying to incriminate luo zhi, and cooperate with the flanking cyber forces to insinuate and smear him?"

zhou yuxiu, secretary-general of the people's party, said that li wenzong has been expelled and is not a member of the people's party, and called on the taipei district prosecutor's office to "do whatever it takes as much evidence as possible."
