國民黨立委鄭天財被控透過前辦公室執行長張騰龍收賄711萬元,遭檢方依貪污治罪條例起訴。
國民黨立委鄭天財涉向廠商收賄711萬元,讓廠商可藉其名義對公務機關施壓,並遭台北地檢署起訴。今年3月鄭的時任辦公室執行長張騰龍出庭,不僅認罪還坦言目睹廠商在交錢給鄭。台北地院今傳喚鄭天財出庭,不過鄭卻臨時請假,僅由律師出庭,待訂好下次庭期後,法官也叮嚀「我們尊重他執行職務,但也請他尊重法院」。
本案上次開庭為今年3月13日,張騰龍當庭指出,有廠商當面要把捐款以現金的方式交由他轉交給鄭,但他沒有收,而是陪同廠商前往鄭天財的立院辦公室,並目睹其把現金給鄭,若鄭不在則會由鄭天財辦公室主任杜雯燕收下,且目睹過「2到3次」。
此外,張騰龍當日還說,鄭天財曾邀請大家舉辦募款餐會,當時有10幾20人要把錢拿給鄭,鄭便指示廠商把錢交給杜雯燕;張騰龍還強調「捐款不只起訴狀寫的這9次,也不只這9人」、「委員也有幫忙過那些人好幾百次」。
然而,今天北院傳喚鄭天財開庭,但鄭天財卻以有會議為由向法院請假,並委由律師到庭。律師在庭上表示,鄭天財本來可以出席,但也是先向法院遞狀請假後,才告知律師要請假,所以目前也不知道鄭後續哪些時間可以出席。
法官聽聞表示「我們尊重委員的職務,但是案子也是要進行」,後續則和律師討論目前立法院有哪些時間無會議進行。經兩造三方確認後,暫時將下次的庭期訂在10月22日下午。承審法官也忍不住再次叮嚀,「我們尊重他執行職務,但也請他尊重法院」。
起訴指出,鄭天財2020年12月間,透過張騰龍名義結識廠商,以「贊助鄭天財參與原住民豐年祭」等活動為名義,轉帳給張騰龍名下帳戶,或交付現金,試圖掩飾行賄款項。而行賄者在外可以掛名鄭的辦公室助理,方便推廣公司業務。
檢方認定,鄭天財透過張騰龍接受廠商供養長達3、4年之久,而鄭的不法所得共711萬元,依照貪污治罪條例不違背職務收賄罪起訴鄭,並求刑10年以上。
