Why It Matters
Wu Shizi is the chairman of the Rehabilitation Party. He has attracted social attention due to controversy over impersonating a lawyer and judicial scalpers.
Wu Shizi, chairman of the Rehabilitation Party, is running for council in Lianjiang County this year. He was involved in instructing his friends to change their nationality to obtain voting rights, sending thermos bottles to bribe elections and illegally accepting political donations.
After Wu Shizi, chairman of the Rehabilitation Party, registered as a candidate for Lianjiang County Council, he was suspected of engaging in electoral bribery by giving away thermos cups, and was also suspected of falsely transferring his household registration to obtain voting rights, and setting up a special account to accept political donations without permission; the Lianjiang District Prosecutor's Office and Taiwan After receiving the report, the North District Prosecutor's Office jointly conducted an investigation yesterday, arrested and summoned 26 people including Wu Nan to the case, and ordered Wu Nan to post a bail of 400,000 yuan. However, Wu Mibao was not found.
Prosecutors found that in order to raise campaign expenses, Wu Shizi held a fund-raising dinner at a Taipei restaurant in September this year. However, Wu Shizi did not set up a special account for political donations in accordance with the law, and all the funds raised went into his private account. In addition, Wu Shizi hired employees of the Rebirth Party to move their household registration to Matsu, falsely obtained voting rights, and gave thermos cups to voters, which involved vote bribery.
After receiving the report, the Lianjiang District Prosecutor's Office and the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office directed the Matsu Investigation Station, the Taipei City Mediation Division, the Criminal Bureau's Intellectual Property Brigade and the Lianjiang County Police Department to form a special task force. On the 11th, the troops were divided into 16 routes to search, and arrested and summoned 9 defendants including Wu Nan and 17 witnesses to give explanations in the case.
Lianjiang District Prosecutor's Office Chief Prosecutor Liu Junjie and Chief Prosecutor Lai Yingying held an overnight retrial with prosecutors Lin Xiucong, Chen Pinyu, and Wu Qiwei of the Beijing Prosecutor's Office. They believed that the nine defendants were involved in violations of the election and strike law, the political donation law, etc., and ordered Wu Shizi to post bail of 400,000 yuan, while the other defendants were asked to post bail in amounts ranging from 20,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan or to be released without bail.
Because Wu Shizi was unable to raise the bail, the prosecutor changed the case to a remand in the early morning of the 12th. After a court hearing, this evening it was ruled that a bail of 300,000 yuan would be issued, with restrictions on residence, leaving the country and going to sea.
Wu, whose real name is Liu Qiugui, was disqualified from the bar examination in his early years because of illegal litigation and was sentenced. When he was the deputy director of a law firm, he also pretended to be a lawyer and appeared on political commentaries as a famous speaker. Since 2002, he had charged high legal fees from the public without appearing in court or writing a petition. This led to many judicial scalping controversies. Even the late artist Gao Lingfeng was deceived by him.
