國民黨新竹縣竹東鎮代會主席、鎮長候選人范國威被控,跟無黨籍、爭取連任鎮代的副主席蕭文甫,以及拚連任的鎮代陳芳畇,3人涉嫌透過補助餐會的方式進行團體賄選,所幸還沒有實際撥款。新竹地檢署昨天(12日)發動搜索13處所,傳喚8名人證後,依違反公職人員選罷法、貪污治罪條例利用職務上機會詐取財物未遂罪嫌,裁定范國威交保20萬、蕭文甫交保10萬,陳芳畇交保6萬。

檢方表示,他們昨天指揮新北市政府警察局海山分局、新竹縣刑大、苗栗縣刑大、嘉義市刑大等單位共同偵辦本案,共搜索13處,並通知范國威、蕭文甫、陳芳畇3人以及8名證人到案,扣押涉案手機4支、代表建議聯絡單3批、帳冊1批、信封1只等物。

檢方表示,范國威跟蕭文甫、陳芳畇藉由資助某協會舉辦造勢活動,以免費餐會邀請選民到場,並允諾以鎮公所公款補助餐費方式,在本月初免費宴請這個協會具投票權的成員,以此尋求支持,涉嫌團體賄選。

檢方說,3人為籌措餐費,明知竹東鎮公所民間團體補助款,不得用於與申請目的無關的選舉活動,且須核實報銷,但仍共同利用職務上「得」建議核撥補助款的機會,用「補助費」名義,分別建議核撥1萬元、2萬元以及1萬元給這個協會,致承辦人員陷於錯誤,發函同意撥付。

檢方說,所幸這個協會還沒檢附單據辦理核銷,補助款也就沒有實際撥付,因而3人並未得逞。檢察官訊問後,認為3人都涉嫌違反貪污治罪條例「利用職務上機會詐取財物未遂」,以及選罷法中規定,候選人對於選區內的團體,假借捐助名義,行求不正利益,使其團體之構成員為一定之行使等罪嫌重大,但無羈押必要,所以直接裁定3人各自交保候傳。

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

  • 檢方將繼續偵辦三人違反選罷法及貪污治罪條例之案件,可能提起公訴。

The 5th New Taipei City Mayoral Election held a public televised political statement. Both KMT candidate Li Sichuan and DPP candidate Su Qiaohui emphasized reducing the pressure on public affairs. Li Sichuan advocated raising construction funds through BOT and other methods and asked legislators to amend the law to increase the budget. Su Qiaohui proposed a "622" budget allocation ratio and benefits such as civil servant dormitories. Independent candidate Su Huihuang opposed borrowing and believed that New Taipei's low population density restricted development.
