The police department has cracked down on 9 cases of transnational repression so far, and 5 cases are still under investigation to find the facilitators in Taiwan.

In order to declare its determination to strictly deal with election disinformation and combat transnational suppression, the Police Department held a press conference today, emphasizing that as of the end of last month, various police agencies had accepted and investigated a total of 184 cases of election disinformation, of which 112 cases and 153 persons had been transferred to the Department of Justice. Law enforcement agencies are investigating, and among other cases of cross-border repression, 9 cases have been investigated so far. In addition to 4 cases, including the case of Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party, who was photographed, prosecutors have prosecuted them in accordance with the law. There are still 5 cases where specific gangs and collaborators in Taiwan have been identified and are actively investigated.

The Police Department stated that the operation methods of election false information are divided into text, picture and audio and video. These three categories spread false information through banners, publicity, post messages, photos, screenshots, videos, short videos, live broadcasts and synthesized sounds. Based on the analysis of the cases accepted, the number of long cases in the village was 51, accounting for 27.72%, followed by municipal councilors with 48 cases, and 70% of them were spread online, with Facebook accounting for the largest number of 58 cases.

In addition, the methods used by foreign forces to intervene in our country's elections are becoming increasingly diverse, including manipulating election gambling, entertaining compatriots to go to the mainland, donating funds through Taiwanese businessmen (such as hosting dinner events), and using religious activities in palaces and temples to organize and mobilize, and to win over the election results in an attempt to influence the election results. Various police agencies have collected and reported specific information and will continue to actively investigate, track down the behind-the-scenes instigators and criminal networks, and make every effort to prevent foreign forces from infiltrating and interfering in the election.

As for the government's transnational suppression of foreign forces through means of harassment, intimidation, injury, and surveillance, which infringes on the safety and freedom of expression of Chinese people, criminal investigations have been launched against foreign forces colluding with domestic and foreign gangs, credit reporting companies, and collaborators in Taiwan. Currently, 9 cases have been investigated, and prosecutors have prosecuted 4 of them in accordance with the law. They will continue to pursue the behind-the-scenes instigators and accomplices with all their strength.

The Police Department stated that candidates are concerned about the issue of "deep forgery" videos and reminded that from the date of the election announcement (August 20) to the day before the polling day (November 27), candidates who discover that deep fake technology has been used to produce false video content may, in accordance with official duties, Article 51-3 of the Personnel Election and Recall Act stipulates that you must apply for forensic identification at your own expense to the Criminal Bureau; if you believe that the content involves a criminal offense, you can also seize relevant audio and video materials, report the case to the nearest police agency, and file a report on social platforms to prevent the continued spread of false content.
