The first court appearance in a corruption case was entirely assigned to Zhang Junjie, the chief accountant. Gao Jin Sumei: This is the fact.

Non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei was accused of fraudulently claiming public assistant fees, defrauding subsidies for public welfare activities, and illegally importing rapid screening reagents. She was indicted by prosecutors in June 2012 and requested a prison sentence. The Taipei District Court summoned her to court for the first time today. The trial ended in about 1.5 hours. Gao Jin was interviewed outside the court. The media asked whether Gao Jin repeatedly said in court that she had no knowledge and left it to the former director of the office Zhang Junjie (big accountant, wanted). Gao Jin replied: "That's the truth, thank you." Then he was escorted by his assistant to the car and left.

In an interview, Gao Jinsumei said that everyone has worked hard during this period. During this period, she felt that there was a dark force, whether through the power of the judiciary or specific media, to smear or falsely accuse her, or even put a color label on her. "I absolutely do not accept this." She emphasized that she has been in politics for 24 years and has served as a legislator for seven terms. Her tribe and colleagues in the Legislative Yuan know best about her conduct and deeds. "Everything I just stated in court is what I want to say from my heart."

Gao Jin said that she was very grateful to the professional legal team for giving her very professional guidance and companionship during this period. She also thanked all her friends for their strong backing, support and trust in her. "I will continue to hold my head high and keep moving forward." She also hopes that her fellow tribe members "don't worry about me, I'm fine, thank you!"

The judge held court at 2:30 p.m. Gao Jin Sumei arrived at the North Court half an hour earlier before 2 p.m., wearing black clothes, black pants, a black jacket and a black shoulder bag, and a black outfit to attend the court.

Gao Jin Sumei was prosecuted for three major areas of the case. The first was the crime of using her position to defraud property. She was suspected of using relatives and friends as heads since 1998 to fraudulently receive public assistant salaries, overtime pay and childcare subsidies, totaling more than 7.87 million yuan; the second crime was criminal law fraud, involving using the name of the "Taiwan Aboriginal Multi-Ethnic Cultural Exchange Association" to organize activities and using false invoices to defraud public welfare activity subsidies from the Aboriginal Committee, China Petroleum Corporation, Taipower Corporation, etc.

The third is a violation of the "crime of unauthorized importation of unapproved medical equipment with intent to supply" under the Medical Equipment Management Act. During the 2022 COVID-19 epidemic, 74,400 doses of rapid screening reagents without inspection permission were illegally imported from Xiamen Biotech, China, into Taiwan. The Beijing Prosecutor's Office concluded the investigation in June this year and prosecuted 24 people including Gao Jin.
