Why It Matters
Zhang Junjie was prosecuted and sentenced to more than 16 years in prison for allegedly fraudulently obtaining assistant fees, association subsidies, and illegally importing rapid screening. After posting bail, he was wanted for destroying an electronic bracelet and losing contact.
Legislator Gao Jin Sumei's "big accountant" Zhang Junjie abandoned bail and absconded for nearly two months. Unexpectedly, he took a boat out of the country from Keelung Zhengbin Fishing Port on October 28. The prosecutor reviewed the surveillance video and found that a man with a similar stature to Zhang boarded the "Qian Chun No. 168", but the ship did not go to sea that day. It was suspected that Zhang had set up a suspicious pattern and then boarded the "Man Ruifu No. 6" fishing boat to escape. The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office today conducted a search to bring back the owner of the "Qian" ship, surnamed simply, to clarify the identity of the person who boarded the ship and whether anyone assisted in smuggling.
It is understood that after receiving information that Zhang Junjie was suspected of sailing from Keelung, the prosecutors urgently checked the port surveillance and compared the boarding personnel one by one, and found a man with a similar stature to Zhang Junjie boarding the "Qianchun 168". However, the owner of the ship surnamed Jian denied any knowledge, and there was no record of the ship going to sea on October 28, so the direction of tracing turned to the "Manruifu 6" that went to sea that day.
The prosecutor suspected that Zhang may have deliberately boarded the "Qian Chun No. 168" first, left a picture on the monitor, and then waited for an opportunity to board another fishing boat to confuse the direction of the investigation. Whether the man who boarded the boat is Zhang Junjie, whether there were transfers of people between the two fishing boats, and whether Zhang has left the country remains to be clarified by comparing relevant evidence.
Zhang Junjie has served as an important staff member of Gao Jin Sumei for many years. He once served as the office director and was responsible for exchanges with China and the operation of the association. In June this year, the Beijing Inspection Bureau investigated a corruption case involving Gao Jin and determined that Zhang was involved in fraudulent claims of assistant fees, association subsidies, and illegal import rapid screening. The criminal proceeds amounted to more than 15.18 million yuan. He was prosecuted and sentenced to more than 16 years in prison. After the case was transferred for trial, the Taipei District Court ruled that he should be released on bail of NT$10 million, restricted from leaving the country and overseas, and be subject to technological surveillance.
The prosecutor once requested to revoke the bail on the grounds that Zhang had overseas financial resources and the possibility of fleeing. However, the court believed that the relevant evidence had been obtained and the risk of affecting witnesses and co-defendants was reduced, so the bail was still maintained. Unexpectedly, Zhang Junjie lost contact after destroying and discarding his electronic bracelet on September 6, and was wanted by the North Hospital.
Zhang Junjie was also involved in the case of accepting Chinese funds to develop organizations in Taiwan, which was investigated by the National Security Station of the Investigation Bureau directed by the High Prosecutor's Office. After he absconded, the Supreme People's Procuratorate notified SAIF Office Director Chen Zhixuan and staff member Lin Yijun to come to the case on September 8. After the interrogation, he requested a detention ban and was approved.
The prosecutor found that Zhang Junjie relied on gangs and local connections during his escape. He traveled all the way from the north to the south, then turned back and hid. He repeatedly changed clothes and changed cars along the way. He once hid in the back compartment and borrowed other people's mobile phones to avoid tracing. The responders are responsible for handing over the items, finding a car, transporting them, and arranging for hiding. Some of them are not familiar with each other and do not know the complete escape route. It is now rumored that he left the country by boat. The prosecutors are tracing the arrangements from hiding on land to picking up at sea, and clarifying the behind-the-scenes dispatcher and the whereabouts of Zhang Junjie.
