前民眾黨主席柯文哲涉及政治獻金與背信案一審被判刑後提起上訴,高院針對會計師端木正部分開庭審理。
前民眾黨主席柯文哲涉及政治獻金與背信案,一審被判刑後提起上訴,高等法院今天傳喚會計師端木正開準備程序庭,端木正承認犯罪,僅針對量刑上訴,其律師團提出審理分離,認為端木正涉及的「業務登載不實」案件與其他被告犯罪事實及爭點關聯性不大,可獨立審理,另主張端木正因相信木可公關公司前負責人李文娟、木可公司會計何璦廷事後會補齊憑證,並非惡行重大。
柯文哲針對政治獻金案的部分,指示親信李文宗及其妹妹李文娟,成立木可公司侵占政治獻金6734萬餘元,另外甚至還挪用眾望基金會公款827萬餘元。端木正卻協助犯罪,未經查證登錄8筆不實交易支出,端木正一審業務登載不實準文書罪,判1年徒刑、李文娟共同公益侵占罪判2年、填製不實會計憑證罪8月,應執行2年4月。
案經上訴,高院今天開庭審理,僅傳喚端木正到庭,但他今天全程交由律師團發言,自己並未有所發言,其辯護律師葉建偉於庭上聲請分離審理,主張端木正所涉業務登載不實罪,與其他被告被訴犯罪事實及爭點關聯性不高,具有獨立審理空間,盼法院分離審理。
針對量刑部分,辯護律師王聖惠主張,端木正並非蓄意製作不實帳目,而是在監察院查核並要求補正後,因李文娟、何璦廷表示事後會補齊相關憑證,端木正基於信任才進行8筆帳務登錄,並非檢方所說惡行重大。
檢方則提出會計師事務所員工戴佳慧與端木正助理陳韋瑄的對話紀錄作為新證據。不過辯方反駁,戴佳慧並未實際參與政治獻金申報作業,也未加入端木正、李文娟、何璦廷及陳韋瑄4人的政治獻金申報LINE群組,並不了解實際申報情形,相關說法僅屬臆測,與實際情況不符。
端木正律師團另針對一審量刑提出質疑,認為原審量刑時偏重對端木正不利的因素,未充分審酌有利情狀;辯方並提出多起同屬不實登載案件的類似判決,主張相較過往類似案件,端木正一審所受刑度明顯較重。
受命法官呂寧莉表示,合議庭將評估是否將端木正部分分離審理;由於本案被告人數眾多,後續庭期將另行通知,並諭知本案候核辦。

An old man surnamed Yao from Pingtung County tripped over a protruding floor tile while passing the Hengchun Town Ring Trail on May 29, 2022. After being sent to the hospital, he died of neurological shock due to a high cervical spine fracture on June 8. His three children applied for state compensation. In the first instance, the Pingtung District Court held that the Hengchun Town Office was responsible for the maintenance and found that the death was causally related to the protruding floor tiles, and awarded compensation of 3,845,757 yuan. The Hengchun Town Office appealed twice, but both were rejected by the Kaohsiung Branch of the High Court and the Supreme Court, and the entire case was confirmed.

A man surnamed Ling ran a pig farm in partnership with Zheng Nan and Li Nan. He sold 75 pigs without consent and used 150,000 yuan in front money.

The second instance of the Kaohsiung High Court found that it should be a civil dispute and Ling Nan was found not guilty.

Former Taipei University of Technology professor Wang Longchang was acquitted of the Nangang Exhibition Hall project bidding fraud case. The key lies in the inconsistent testimony of Huang Wei'an, the special assistant to the chairman of Rio Tinto Construction who accused him of accepting bribes, and the lack of objective evidence such as cash flow to reinforce it. Crime prevention experts point out that although tainted witnesses can help expose hidden crimes, they may falsely accuse others in order to reduce their sentences. Therefore, when forming free evidence, the court still needs to fully investigate objective evidence that is favorable to the defendant and explain the reasons for acceptance or rejection to avoid miscarriage of justice.
