The Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office investigated the case of Core Pacific City (京華城) ,and detained former Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲), and the Taipei Court ruled in the early hours of this morning that he should be returned without bail. In his speech, Ko Wen-je said that he had been oppressed and abused in the past two days, and he could not understand the purpose of the search.
The Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office investigated the Core Pacific City case and launched a search and interview operation on August 30. The prosecutor found that Ko Wen-je and Pong Cheng-sheng (彭振聲), the former deputy mayor of Taipei, were involved in the crimes of accepting bribes and profiteering in violation of their duties under the Anti-Corruption Act, and detained the two people from seeing them. At 3 a.m. today, the Taipei District Court ruled that Ke Wenzhe should return without bail and Pong Cheng-sheng should be Pre-trial detained.
The Ko’s supporters waiting at the gate of the Taipei District Prosecutors Office cheered loudly after learning the results, and Ko Wen-je’s wife Peggy Chen (陳佩琪), People’s Party Legislator Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌) and others also came to greet Ko Wen-je.
Ko Wen-je pointed out that if there is a problem with the judicial unit, he can be summoned and there is no need to search the residence and office of the chairman of Taiwan’s main opposition parties in the early morning, as well as the central party headquarters, especially the central party headquarters of the Taiwan People’s Party.
Ko Wen-je said that in the past two days, he has been extremely oppressive and abused in the past two days. In the final defense, he directly told the judge that all the 840% plot ratio of Core Pacific City was actually not questioned at all after it was sent to the public exhibition and then transferred to the Taipei’s Urban Planning Commission.
He said that he knew that the mayor should not intervene in a single case, so he did not know that the plot ratio was 840%, and it was only after the media began to make a fuss about this matter in March and April this year that he first knew that the plot ratio of this case was 840%. There is no evidence to prove that he intervened.
Ko Wen-j pointed out that he already knew that the prosecutor’s attitude was quite clear in the way the prosecutor interrogated in the past two days, so he told the judge not to be embarrassed, but in fact, it was the judge who really worked hard this time and withstood all the pressure.
台北地檢署正在調查京華城案，對前台北市長柯文哲提出聲押申請，但北院今晨裁定無保請回，支持者隨即發出熱烈的歡呼。柯文哲在發言中表示，這兩天他感受到極大的壓力和困擾，無法理解此次搜索的目的。
此次調查始於8月30日，檢方對柯文哲及前副市長彭振聲進行了搜索和約談，認定他們涉嫌違反貪污治罪條例，涉及職務收賄及圖利等罪名，因而對兩人提出聲押禁見的要求。台北地方法院今晨3時裁定柯文哲無保請回，而彭振聲則被羈押禁見。
在北檢門口等候的支持者得知結果後，紛紛歡呼，柯文哲的妻子陳佩琪及民眾黨立委黃國昌等人也前來迎接他。柯文哲感謝支持者，並分享了他的感受。
他指出，如果司法機關有問題，應該傳喚他，而不必在清晨對台灣主要在野黨主席的住處、辦公室及中央黨部進行搜索，特別是針對台灣民眾黨的中央黨部，他無法理解這樣做的意義。
柯文哲提到，檢方查扣了他的手機和硬碟，並利用裡面的資料編造故事，這兩天的經歷讓他感到極度的壓迫和困擾。在最後的答辯中，他向法官表示，關於京華城840%的容積率，當年在公開展覽後轉送都委會時，他並未過問此事。
他強調，市長不應該干預個案，因此對於840%的容積率，他在今年3、4月媒體報導後才第一次得知，並表示目前的證據無法證明他有任何干預行為。
柯文哲還指出，檢察官在這兩天的詢問中態度明確，他向法官請求不要為難，並表示這次真正辛苦的是法官，因為他們承受了所有的壓力。
