After long-term evidence collection, the Tainan and Taoyuan City Investigation Offices of the Bureau of Investigation have learned that behind the scenes, Lin Dewang, Chairman of the Taiwan People’s Communist Party, and Chen Zhenzhou, a member of the Central Committee of the same party and running for Hsinchu City Mayor, were provided campaign funds and related funding by the Chinese Communist Party. The day before yesterday, the Tainan and Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Offices respectively ordered investigators to bring Lin and Chen back for investigation. After the prosecutors resumed the interrogation, they determined that the two were involved in the reverse osmosis law and applied to the court for detention. Lin was ordered to be detained and Chen was released on 50,000 yuan bail.
Lin Dewang, former member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang and current chairman of the Taiwan People's Communist Party, was accused many years ago of accepting funding from the Chinese Communist Party to run for Tainan City Council in an attempt to influence our country's elections and infiltrated for more than ten years. He was prosecuted by the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office under the Anti-infiltration Law and other crimes. However, the Taipei District Court of first instance found that there was insufficient evidence and was acquitted. After the prosecutor appealed, the High Court dismissed the verdict last month and upheld the acquittal verdict of the first instance; the High Prosecutor's Office stated that it would consider whether to appeal after receiving the judgment documents.
The CCP sponsored the candidate for the mayor of Zhucheng City, and his partymate Chen Zhenzhou posted bail
After a long period of evidence collection by the Tainan City Investigation Division and other units of the Bureau of Investigation, it was discovered that Lin Dewang was still involved in violating the anti-infiltration law, and that Chen Zhenzhou, a member of the Central Committee of the same party who participated in the election of Hsinchu City Mayor, continued to receive funding from the CCP, and reported to the Tainan and Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Offices respectively to direct the investigation.
It is reported that Chen Zhenzhou, the mayor candidate involved in the case, is said to have a background in the Bamboo Union Gang and the China Unification Promotion Party, and was even recommended to run for Hsinchu City Mayor.
Before the investigation, the Japanese soldiers conducted multiple searches and transferred the two men to the Tainan and Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Offices for investigation. After the prosecutors resumed the interrogation, they determined that the two men had violated the anti-infiltration law and applied to the court for detention. The Tainan District Court ruled that Mr. Lin should be detained without public viewing, while the Hsinchu District Court ruled that Mr. Chen should be released on bail of NT$50,000 and restricted from residence. It is reported that the Hsinchu District Prosecutor’s Office will file a protest.
