年底地方公職人員選舉逼近,花蓮地檢署查察賄選再出手!國民黨核准參選的花蓮縣秀林村長周賢德及其妻子王姓婦人,涉嫌以現金1000元至2000元不等,以及贈送市價約100元至200元的香菇等方式向選民行賄。花蓮地檢署檢察官林英正指揮警方、移民署等單位執行搜索並拘提17人到案,訊後向法院聲請將周男羈押禁見,花蓮地院最終裁定周男與妻子王女各以10萬元交保。

花蓮地檢署今指出,檢方日前接獲線報,指秀林鄉周姓村長參選人與妻子王女為求順利當選,涉嫌自今年起透過現金及香菇禮品向轄內有投票權的鄉親賄選。檢察官林英正本月1日、2日指揮花蓮縣警察局新城分局、吉安分局及內政部移民署花蓮縣專勤隊等單位,持花蓮地方法院核發之搜索票,前往被告住居所等5處執行搜索,並拘提、通知被告及證人共計17人到案說明。

請繼續往下閱讀...

經檢察官複訊後,認為被告周男及王女均涉犯公職人員選舉罷免法第99條第1項之投票行賄罪嫌重大。檢察官考量周男有勾串共犯及證人之虞,向花蓮地方法院聲請羈押禁見,經法官審理後裁定交保10萬元;妻子王女則諭知交保10萬元,其餘涉案人員及證人訊後均請回。秀林鄉秀林長周賢德已經擔任過5屆村長,這次秀林村競爭激烈,一共有4名參選人登記,國民黨就報准周賢德、鍾義銘二人可掛國民黨籍參選。

花蓮地檢署強調,檢方查察妨害選舉團隊已全面啟動,對於任何形式介入選舉的不法行為絕對「零容忍」,無論是傳統的現金買票、贈送禮品,或是變相的招待旅遊、餐飲等,執法團隊皆會嚴加查辦。檢方同時呼籲民眾若發現任何疑似賄選或干擾選舉情事,請踴躍撥打檢舉專線,檢方定將嚴密保護檢舉人身分,與全民攜手維護乾淨、透明的公平選舉。
