Statement from the Taiwan People’s Party]
Political pursuit and unfair justice, no money flow to prosecute for abuse of power! Open trial and release Ke P!
For four months, Chairman Ke Wenzhe cooperated with the investigation and even gave up his protest, sacrificing his personal freedom, hoping that the prosecutors would fulfill their responsibility for a fair investigation.
For four full months, the public saw that the party, prosecutors, and media were all using state resources to carry out political liquidation, character assassination, and confiscation of homes to destroy the party. Chairman Ke Wenzhe was still unable to speak out for his innocence.
But four months later, what we saw was a feeble indictment from the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office. No money flow could be found, and the evidence was patched together. The indictment even more solidly confirmed the charges of detaining people for confessions and fabricating false accusations in the past four months. Cooperate with the party procuratorate and the media to induce public opinion and handle the case, conduct character assassination on Ke Wenzhe, and launch a political hunt for the Taiwan People's Party.
The Taiwan People's Party held an international press conference today to fight back against the absurd, framed, and misleading prosecution content. It also called for an open trial and the release of Chairman Ke Wenzhe after the case was transferred to the Taipei District Court.
Taiwan People's Party Secretary-General Zhou Yuxiu, emergency response team conveners Lin Funan, Huang Guochang, Li Weihua, as well as party legislators and congressmen all attended the scene to jointly defend Chairman Ke Wenzhe's innocence. Lin Funan said that the Beijing prosecutor's abuse of power and prosecution turned into a political thug, and carried out a house-raiding and extermination-style attack on the Taiwan People's Party. This is the darkest day for #Taiwan's democracy. He calls on the Lai Ching-te government not to let political gangsters penetrate into the judiciary and return it to Chairman Ke Wenzhe Being innocent means not only defending Ko Wenzhe, but also defending judicial fairness and the value of Taiwan's democracy and rule of law.

Ke Wenzhe has no intention of profiting from Jinghua City! Never involved in capacity review, framed and prosecuted
At the press conference, the Taiwan People’s Party counterattacked one by one against the contents of the Beijing prosecutor’s prosecution. As for the prosecutor's determination that the "application for area bonus under the metropolitan renewal law" was illegal in the case of Jinghua City, Huang Guochang criticized that Jinghua City applied in accordance with Article 24 of the Urban Planning Act and did not apply for metropolitan renewal at all. The prosecutors deliberately confused it, and many scholars and experts also They have publicly expressed that Jinghua City’s area bonus “does not violate the law”, so how can it “knowingly and intentionally” constitute profit? What’s more, according to the Taipei City Council’s investigation report, including then deputy mayor Peng Zhensheng and then director of urban development Huang Jingmao All evidence stated that Chairman Ke Wenzhe "never instructed" civil servants to violate the law. "None of the members of the metropolitan committee who passed the volume bonus were prosecuted, but Ke Wenzhe, who did not intervene, was prosecuted." Isn't it just a false accusation and a crime?

If you want to accuse someone, why bother? Capital City is not a special case "Can't Lai Neng Ke"
In fact, the volume bonus in Jinghua City is not a special case, and there are related cases across the country. For example, Mandarin Oriental during the Hao Longbin period, and then Tainan Mayor Lai Qingde increased the volume bonus from 180% to 440%. Huang Guochang questioned why "Lai Qingde can do it, but Ke Wenzhe can't." The Guobin Hotel in Kaohsiung even had a volume bonus of 1142.4%. As a result, Ke Wenzhe was framed for profit. This is called "Green can but you can't."

No evidence of bribery and no cash flow at all! 15 million for the prosecution?
The prosecutors searched for four months and could not find any cash flow. They mistook the 1,500 recorded in Excel as bribes. The indictment even more absurdly stated, "I personally accepted it at a certain time and place." Huang Guochang said that the Beijing Prosecutor's Office could not tell the time and place. Location, money flow, pieced together at about the same time and amount, it was said that Shen Qing proposed 16 million, of which 15 million was personally delivered to Ke Wenzhe. No evidence was provided at all, not even witness testimony, using vague words and no evidence. accused Ke Wenzhe of accepting bribes.
The Beijing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau could not find 15 million, but the famous media mouthpieces have been talking about it for four months. The accounts of Peggy Chen, Ke Wenzhe's home, cold wallets, the mayor's office, the construction site of Jinghua City, septic tanks, and even Singapore were not found. Please ask these famous speakers if they want to come forward and apologize.

2.1 million legal political donations are framed as bribes
None of the political donations legally accepted by the Taiwan People's Party went into Ke Wenzhe's pocket, yet it was framed as bribery! Huang Guochang asked the Beijing Prosecutor's Office which politician would accept bribes like this. Regarding Zhu Yahu's confession, Huang Guochang even revealed that he had received a report that Zhu Yahu had a personal grudge against Shen Qingjing. What malicious accusations did Zhu Yahu make to retaliate against Shen Qingjing? That was Zhu Yahu's fault. Regarding the matter with Shen, if in order to retaliate against Shen Qingjing, even the innocent Ke Wenzhe will be framed and dragged into the situation, the Taiwan People's Party will not sit idly by and believe that the truth will be revealed during the cross-examination during the trial process.

Green authoritarianism is not acting at all! Confiscating homes and destroying the party, eradicating political opponents
As for the case of public welfare misappropriation of political cash determined by the Beijing Inspection and Quarantine Office, Zhou Yuxiu criticized the Lai government as a perfect example of how to use state machinery to defeat political opponents and interpret all commercial income as political donations. For example, Beiquan used the high ticket price for Ke Wenzhe's concert as a political donation, which is illogical. The employees of the Zhongwang Foundation usually engage in charity work and provided long-term care policies to Ke Wenzhe during the election period, which is no different from the operation of the New Realm Cultural and Educational Foundation. Zhou Yuxiu even showed off his business card as the deputy director of the Youth Development Department of New Realm in the past, saying that he was also the deputy director of the Youth Development Department of the Central Party Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party at that time. According to the logic of the Beijing Examination, in 2024, Lai Qingde’s New Realm Cultural and Educational Foundation usurped political donations to the Democratic Progressive Party? Is this reasonable? Why can Lai Qingde do it but Ke Wenzhe should die?
As for Mu Ke, it was clearly stated at the press conference on August 29 that Mu Ke is exactly the same as Tsai Ing-wen’s Xiaoying Store and Lai Qingde’s Laisang Shop. The Beijing Prosecutor's Office indictment also confirmed that accountant Duan Muzheng did illegally record political donation accounts, causing misfortune to the Taiwan People's Party. The Taiwan People's Party sent a letter to the Supervisory Yuan requesting corrections, but it was found that it required a declarer or a power of attorney from Ko Wenzhe. This is simply a deliberate blockage.

Stop detaining people for confession and believe that justice will eventually restore Ke’s innocence
Finally, Huang Guochang emphasized that the democratic rule of law gained by Taiwan's democratic predecessors should not degenerate to this point. Much of the information released by the Beijing Prosecutor's Office today has nothing to do with the case but has been made public. What is the purpose? They want the media and Internet forces they control to humiliate and erase the character of Ke Wenzhe. We believe that Ke Wenzhe is innocent and have never wavered in the past four months. We believe that after the trial process, the most basic justice will be given to Chairman Ke. Please stop detaining people for confession, open the trial, and release Ke Wenzhe.
