《TAIPEI TIMES》 Legislator May Chin indicted on security charges

检方指控其为北京从事活动,请求对高金素梅判处14年有期徒刑

Quick Look

前立法委员高金素梅及其前立法办公室主任张俊杰、立法助理陈智葟、林怡君四人,因涉嫌接受北京贿赂,违反《国家安全法》和《贪污治罪条例》被台湾高等检察署起诉。检方指控张俊杰秘密转移超过新台币1.7亿元的中国资金,并请求法院对高金素梅判处14年有期徒刑,对张俊杰判处15年有期徒刑。高金素梅否认所有指控,称检方起诉是为了转移对张俊杰潜逃的关注。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

高金素梅曾连续七届担任立法委员,长期关注原住民社区议题。此案与六月台北地方检察署另案起诉的公款挪用及未获批准的中国新冠检测试剂进口案并行,后者仍待审理。

独立立法委员高金素梅(高金素梅)和三人昨日因涉嫌代表北京从事活动,被控国家安全和贪腐罪名起诉。

高金素梅、其前立法办公室主任张俊杰(张俊杰),以及公费立法助理陈智葟(陈智葟)和林怡君(林怡君),因涉嫌受贿,违反《国家安全法》和《贪污治罪条例》,被台湾高等检察署起诉。

2005年至2016年间,张俊杰和陈智葟 allegedly 协调高金素梅的竞选活动、立法工作及原住民社区联络,检方称。

林怡君 allegedly 充当高金素梅和张俊杰的中介,往返于台湾和中国之间,从中国官员处接收指示并转达给他人,检方称。

张俊杰 allegedly 接受中国用于原住民社区基础设施项目的捐款,同时秘密通过亲友账户转移超过新台币1.7亿元(约合519万美元)的中国资金,检方称。

该资金 allegedly 用于代表中国政府机构建立组织,并支持高金素梅的连竞选活动。

检方还指控高金素梅在北京指示下,就武器采购、两岸关系、外交和国防等重大问题行事,利用其立法委员身份影响立法程序。

检方援引高金素梅在调查期间 allegedly 缺乏悔意并试图逃避责任,请求法院判处其14年有期徒刑。

检方还请求对张俊杰判处15年有期徒刑,指控其罪行严重且试图逃避起诉,张俊杰据信在获释保释后已逃离台湾。

与此同时,陈智葟和林怡君在调查期间供认不讳,归还了非法所得,并详细说明了其他被告的参与情况,检方称。

在六月的另一案件中,台北地方检察署起诉高金素梅及另外23人,涉及贪腐和欺诈相关指控,包括 alleged 挪用公款及从中国进口未获批准的新冠检测试剂。

该案尚待审理。

高金素梅否认代表中国政府建立组织或接受中国资金,称指控不实。

她指控检方仓促起诉她,以转移对未能逮捕已逃离台湾的张俊杰的关注。

她还否认反对武器采购及其他被起诉书引述的立场是受北京指示,称这些反映了她长期持有的观点。

她质疑,在连续七届任期、24年走访原住民社区并回应居民关切之后,为何还需要中国资金来确保连竞选。

高金素梅还质疑,如果 alleged 犯罪发生在2005年至2016年间,为何她被监视超过20年,却在选举前十年才被起诉。

她说她将在审判中提出证据为自己辩护。

这位立法者还批评她所描述的日益增长的抹黑运动和网络指控,将反对派人士标记为亲中或间谍,询问这种环境是否与民主相容,并称她将继续坚持自己的原则。
