After days of collecting evidence, the Bureau of Investigation’s Tainan and Taoyuan City Investigation Offices have learned that behind the scenes, Chairman Lin Dewang of the Taiwan People’s Communist Party and Chen Zhenzhou, who is running for mayor of Hsinchu City with his party, were provided campaign funds and related funding by the Chinese Communist Party. Yesterday, the prosecutor directed multiple investigators from two divisions to take Lin and Chen to the Tainan and Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Offices for investigation. After the prosecutor resumed interrogation, they determined that the two were involved in the anti-infiltration law and were in danger of colluding with witnesses and fleeing. They applied to the court for detention.

Lin Dewang, former member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang and current chairman of the Taiwan People's Communist Party, was accused of receiving funding from the Chinese Communist Party to run for Tainan City Councilor, or to recommend Vice Chairman Zheng Jianxin to run for Taipei City Councilor, in an attempt to influence our country's elections, and infiltrated for 10 years. He was prosecuted by the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office under the Anti-infiltration Law and other crimes. However, the Taipei District Court found that there was insufficient evidence of guilt and was acquitted in the first instance. After the prosecutor appealed, the High Court ruled last month that it dismissed the appeal and upheld the acquittal verdict of the first instance. The High Prosecutor's Office said it would consider whether to appeal.

After a long period of evidence collection, the Bureau of Investigation found that Lin Dewang was still involved in violating the anti-infiltration law. This time, Chen Zhenzhou, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China who participated in the election of Hsinchu City Mayor, continued to receive funding from the CCP and reported to the Tainan and Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Offices respectively to direct the investigation.

It is reported that Chen Zhenzhou, the district mayor candidate involved in the case, is rumored to have a background in the Bamboo Union Gang and the former Unification Promotion Party, and was elected to run for Hsinchu City District Mayor this time.

Seeing that the time was ripe for investigation and investigation yesterday, troops were divided into multiple groups to search the campaign headquarters, offices and premises, and transferred the two men to the Tainan and Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Offices for investigation. After rehearing, the prosecutor determined that the two men had violated the anti-infiltration law and applied to the court for detention.
