After Zhang Junjie paid bail for being involved in fraudulent claims of assistant fees and other cases, he broke his electronic bracelet and fled. The prosecutors continued to investigate the support network.
Non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei's chief accountant Zhang Junjie abandoned bail and absconded, and the number of accomplices who helped escape has increased to 21.
Zhang Junjie, the former director of the office of Legislator Gao Jin Sumei, broke his electronic bracelet and abandoned his security and fled for more than a month. The prosecutors traced back the chain of investigation and arrested the 20th person involved in the case, Lin Chuhao, yesterday, and also arrested the 21st person involved in the case, Tan Zhonglun. After police interrogation, the two people were earlier transferred to the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office for review on suspicion of concealing a criminal and damaging public property, and the net of escapees was expanded to 21 people.
Zhang Junjie was indicted on charges of fraudulently collecting assistant fees and other cases. After being transferred to trial, he posted a bail of 10 million yuan and wore an electronic bracelet. However, before two other aides of Gao Jin Sumei were taken into custody in connection with the national security case, he destroyed the equipment and absconded on September 6. The Taipei District Court has issued a wanted order.
Prosecutors' investigation revealed that Zhang Junjie took a taxi to Wanhua and Taoyuan in the early stages of his escape, and then contacted Zhou Huankai to go south to Chiayi. During this period, he changed his clothes several times and was picked up and dropped off by Zhou Huankai, Chen Houzhang and Chen Junhan. Zhang originally planned to stow away from Kaohsiung Port, but was unable to make the trip due to strict investigation. Instead, he checked into a five-star hotel in Gushan District, Kaohsiung, and was picked up by Chen Houzhang to continue his escape.
The prosecutor found that the escape network's division of labor included central contact, segmented pick-up and drop-off, providing vehicles, arranging hotels and B&Bs, taking care of daily life, and handling abandoned vehicles. It assisted Zhang Junjie in repeatedly changing cars and hiding across counties and cities to avoid pursuit.
Among the 19 people who had previously arrived at the case, 9 were detained and banned from being seen, while the remaining 10 were released on bail.

Shen Boyang, a Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, once revealed that he was being followed and that a pinhole camera was installed on his motorcycle in front of his home for long-term surveillance. When the police first responded to the investigation, he was questioned as having persecution delusions. The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office today concluded that Hong Kong residents Ju Juexian and Lin Qing commissioned Zheng Yongjin, the head of a Taiwan credit reporting agency, to use employee Jiang Wenxin and others to secretly photograph Shen Boyang and his family with micro cameras hidden under the motorcycle seat cushions. The photos and videos were uploaded to a surveillance group through Telegram and then forwarded to the client. The prosecutor found that Zheng Yongjin and others had violated the Personal Information Law, initiated public prosecutions in accordance with the law, and issued a wanted order for two Hong Kong nationals. At the same time, they requested the court to impose appropriate sentences on the defendants who confessed to the crime, and to confiscate criminal tools and illegal gains.
