State of Play in China: The Difficult 70 Hours of Ko Wen-je, Chairman of the Taiwan People’s Party
Around 8 p.m. on September 1st, the Taipei District Court held a detention hearing, during which both Ko Wen-je and Peng Zhen-sheng were questioned for approximately 4.5 hours. The presiding judge determined that the evidence presented by the prosecutor was insufficient to establish significant criminal suspicion against Ko Wen-je, and therefore ruled for his release without bail.
What role did Ko Wen-je play in the Jinghua City case? Why was he detained by the prosecutor for 70 hours? What transpired during that time? Is Ko Wen-je guilty of corruption, or was he a victim of political persecution?
