新竹市立棒球場2022年重新啟用後因球員受傷及工程品質引發爭議,檢調展開長達近4年的偵查。
新竹市立棒球場2022年重新啟用後,接連爆出球員受傷、工程品質及回填廢棄物等爭議,檢調歷經近4年追查,新竹地檢署今年8月偵結,認定前新竹市長林智堅遭告發涉嫌圖利等罪均罪嫌不足,予以不起訴,案件其後送請高檢署再議。高檢署今認再議無理由,駁回再議,林智堅不起訴處分確定。
全案源於新竹棒球場改建工程,2022年7月尚未完成驗收即舉辦職棒賽事,短短2天內即有多名球員受傷,其中富邦悍將外野手林哲瑄撲接飛球時造成左肩關節唇破裂,後續賽事暫停,也引發外界質疑施工品質。新竹地檢署同年接獲告發,分案追查工程是否涉及圖利、偽造文書、政府採購法及廢棄物清理法等罪。
高虹安接任新竹市長後,市府開挖球場,發現混凝土塊、紅磚、廢電線及塑膠等物,再掀是否違法回填營建廢棄物的「大秘寶」爭議;工程預算也從原先3.5億餘元一路增至11.5億餘元,檢方因此追查是否藉契約變更圖利特定廠商。
檢調查出,工程預算增加主要因增列地下停車場、民富立體停車場整修、外野結構補強等11項工項,各次契約變更金額均未逾原契約金額50%,程序未違反「政府採購法」。檢方透過通訊監察、搜索、金流比對及帳務分析,未發現林智堅或其他市府人員與巨佳營造、艾奕康間存在不法金流,也查無收賄或圖利事證。
至於廢棄物爭議,檢方查出,工程拆除產生的磚瓦、石塊等土石方,本就可經破碎後回填,且查無業者從外部運入廢棄物掩埋。市府兩度開挖雖發現石塊、木材等異物,但數量有限,其中不符規範的石塊僅占拆除土石方約0.75%。
檢方偵查認為,棒球場工程雖有專案管理、監造角色混淆、採購程序及督導不周、未妥適驗收即開放使用等行政及施工瑕疵,但可循契約、行政或民事程序處理,尚不足認定林智堅等人涉及圖利等刑事犯罪,因此予以不起訴處分。
不過,檢方另查出,市府在變更設計完成前,即要求巨佳營造先施作新增項目。蕭姓工地主任、朱姓品管人員為使施工日誌符合進度,提前登載尚未施作的紅土回填、植草等工程;艾奕康李姓監造主任、帥姓監造工程師也在監造日報表登載不實,並製作、補簽18份施工抽查紀錄表。4人均坦承犯行,獲緩起訴,各須支付公庫4萬元。
林智堅等人獲不起訴後,案件送請高檢署再議;高檢認原處分並無不當,今駁回再議,林智堅獲不起訴處分確定。
