Executive President Zhuo Yongtai presided over the "Executive Yuan's 115-year Security Council" today (5th) and pointed out that in order to prevent illegal funds and forces from intervening in the election, the Taiwan High Prosecutor's Office's first wave of "illegal financial flow special projects" uncovered 212 illegal cash flow cases and 588 people, and seized more than 909.06 million yuan in criminal proceeds. In the face of the upcoming election, we must continue to strengthen the investigation of bribery and violence, and strictly prevent foreign forces from interfering in elections.

Zhuo Kui said that in order to prevent illegal funds and forces from intervening in the election, Taiwan's High Prosecutor's Office has already begun coordinating the nationwide prosecutorial, police and investigative agencies to implement the first wave of "Illegal Cash Flow Investigation Project" from mid-August to September 4 this year. It made every effort to sweep away overseas funds, underground exchanges and election betting, etc. A total of 212 illegal cash flow cases and 588 people were discovered, and about 909.06 million yuan in criminal proceeds were confiscated.

Zhuo Kui pointed out that there have been many incidents of transnational suppression or harassment by foreign forces in the country recently, which have seriously endangered national security and public order. He requested prosecutors, police, and mediators to work closely with national security units to strengthen the collection of dangerous information and personal safety protection for candidates and specific important people, and strictly investigate such cases of transnational suppression, trace the origins of the masterminds and local collaborators, thoroughly dismantle foreign illegal forces, and protect my country's democracy, rule of law, and freedom of speech.

Zhuo Kui emphasized that the election preparation work is quite heavy, and relevant agencies are requested to properly plan the work rotation and rest time of colleagues, and give priority to safeguarding the rights and interests of colleagues. Dean Zhuo also reminded colleagues to maintain a peaceful state of mind while on duty and work together to do a good job in election and public security work. At the same time, the exercise of voting rights by all colleagues in the procuratorate, police, immigration, immigration and other agencies on the voting day should be properly planned in advance so that everyone can fulfill their rights and obligations as citizens.
