Legislator Gao Jin Sumei’s former assistant Zhang Junjie destroyed an electronic handgun and fled, the High Prosecutor’s Office clarified that there was no mole

Legislator Gao Jin Sumei's "big accountant" Zhang Junjie broke into electronic gloves and fled for nearly a month. Some media reported today that he destroyed equipment with sharp objects and aluminum foil. It took about 10 hours for the science and technology control center to receive an alert, questioning the possibility of "insiders helping to escape." The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office responded today that the monitoring records have been completely retained, and the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office has sent the equipment for appraisal to restore the damage method, alarm sequence, and agency contact process.

According to media reports, when Zhang Junjie destroyed an electronic glove in Da'an Forest Park on September 6, he was suspected of first digging a gap in the gauntlet belt with a sharp object, then destroying the reporting system, tearing it off and wrapping it in aluminum foil. After the equipment was damaged, the alarm was not triggered immediately. It was not until a low-battery alarm appeared in the evening that the Science and Technology Control Center discovered the abnormality and notified the Taipei District Court.

The report questioned that when the judge and the police rushed to Da'an Forest Park to chase the person, they asked for a GPS positioning track, but were unable to obtain clear information immediately. They finally relied on the park monitors to trace Zhang's whereabouts. This raised questions about whether there were loopholes in the equipment detection, notification timing and cross-agency lateral communication of the Science and Technology Control Center.

The report also quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that the person who sabotaged the electronic handgun suspected that he had received "advice from an expert" to avoid the device's original sabotage alarm mechanism. In addition, there are doubts such as the timing of alarms and notifications. Therefore, it is believed that the possibility of someone who is familiar with the control equipment and its operation methods, or even an "insider" helping to escape, cannot be completely ruled out.

The High Prosecutor's Office responded that the Science and Technology Control Center carries out equipment monitoring, abnormal alarms and agency notifications of monitored objects in accordance with laws and standard operating procedures. All monitoring records, alarm processes and handling procedures are completely retained and available for inspection. There are no hidden or abnormal situations.

As for how Zhang Junjie destroyed the electronic handgun, the High People's Procuratorate said that the Beijing Inspection and Quarantine Office has sent the equipment to the Science and Technology Control Center for professional appraisal. In addition to clarifying how the equipment was damaged, it will also investigate and return the police release sequence, notification process and inter-agency contact records. After completion, the follow-up treatment will be discussed in accordance with the law.

The High Prosecutor's Office stated that it has convened equipment maintenance manufacturers many times to discuss improvement plans, and will continue to review and optimize the performance of scientific and control software and hardware to prevent monitored defendants from evading surveillance and hiding.
