People's Party Chairman Ko Wen-Je is involved in the corruption case of Jinghua City. The Taipei District Court opened a hearing on the 25th, summoning Huang Jing-Mao, the former director of the Taipei Urban Development Bureau. Huang Jing-Mao stated that during the interrogation, the prosecuting attorney told him that the former chairperson of the Urban Planning Commission had pleaded guilty, but the relevant documents lacked signatures. To defend the dignity of civil servants, he chose not to plead guilty. The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office responded, stating that during the interrogation process, they provided transcripts for the interviewee's identification as needed, and there was no misconduct.
Huang Jing-Mao is the third defendant to make accusations. During the court hearing, he mentioned that when he was interrogated on October 11, 2024, the prosecuting attorney indicated that others had pleaded guilty and presented documents as evidence. However, these documents were not official records but files printed from a computer. The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office later responded to the media, stating that the prompts made by the prosecutor were not illegal, and Huang Jing-Mao and his lawyer did not raise any objections to this.
More related reports, including Ko Wen-Je's case and Huang Jing-Mao's reaction to the documents, demonstrate his insistence on the dignity of civil servants. In the face of accusations, he still maintains his position, emphasizing the principle of presumption of innocence.
