After three days and three nights of interrogation, The Taiwan Prosecutorial Investigation launched a search last Friday (July 31), detaining Su Zhenqing, a ruling DEMOCRATIC Progressive Party legislator suspected of accepting bribes from Former Chairman Li Henglong of the Pacific Circulation Corporation, and opposition Kuomintang legislators Liao Guodong and Chen Chaoming, setting a new precedent for legislators to be detained and banned since the 1992 comprehensive re-election. Chen Tangshan, former legislator of the Democratic Progressive Party, Xu Yongming, former chairman of the Opposition Era Force, and Zhao Zhengyu, a non-party legislator who accepted bribes from funeral workers to change the purpose of Yangmingshan National Park, handed over to the post on bail.
The prosecutorial investigation and surveillance of the SOGO case lasted for five years, and specially selected to intervene during the recess of the Legislative Yuan, especially Su Zhenqing's uncle Su Jiaquan, who was transferred from the legislative president to the secretary general of the presidential office in May this year.
Because Su Zhenqing was involved in the Chengmei material hollowing-out case, the party Central Committee refused to let him serve as a non-divisional legislator at the end of last year; Su Jiaquan ran the Democratic Progressive Party Central Executive Committee, and Su Jiaquan's wife, Hong Hengzhu, threatened to leave the party and run for election, trying to ensure that the political incense of the Su family could be inherited, forcing President Tsai Ing-wen to coordinate in his official residence.
Su Jiaquan's nephew and Zhang Zhongjiecai, the former general manager of the Tang Rong Iron Works, resigned from his post because he was contracted by his relatives in procurement cases involving uniforms and employee tourism; the opposition Kuomintang obtained an official document from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last month, accusing Su Jiaquan and Su Zhenqing of bypassing the representative office in Indonesia with State-run enterprises such as Taiwan Sugar and China Petroleum For personal gain.
The matter has not yet been clarified, and the SOGO case broke out, and Su Jiaquan quickly asked for resignation to stop the bleeding; unexpectedly, the media immediately reported that Taiwan Television had purchased NT$16 million of fragrance candle products from the company of Su Jiaquan's son-in-law, Qiao Luobin. These serial explosions made Hong Hengzhu speculate: "Behind the scenes, there is a very powerful organization operating, I don't know whether it is the DPP faction fighting viciously, or the KMT launching an attack, or other forces, the politics is too terrible, I can't understand it more and more!" ”
At the end of last year, when Su Jiaquan decided to abandon the legislative president, there were rumors that he was ready to take over as the chief executive, but he did not expect that Su Zhenchang, who had been rushing to the cabinet in the emergency, came to the official Yun Hengtong, encountered the outbreak of crown disease, Taiwan's epidemic prevention was appropriate, Tsai Su's reputation was high, Su Jiaquan's hopes were disappointed, and he could only go to be the secretary general first.
At the beginning of last year, because Lai Qingde, who was then the cabinet minister, insisted on stepping down responsible for the defeat of the 2018 local elections, Su Zhenchang was in danger of being appointed to take over the cabinet, and then he did not inform Tsai Ing-wen in advance, so he carried out a major personnel transfer to the public stock bank including the first gold, south China gold, and Zhangyin, and the government did not tolerate it.
Last Thursday (July 30), the Taipei District Public Prosecutor's Office investigated the Far Eastern Airlines hollowing out case, including Liao Canchang, chairman of First Gold, Huang Bochuan, chairman of Land Bank, and Chen Shiqing, general manager of Heku, and three other senior executives of the public stock bank who had been replaced by Su Zhenchang. Among them, Liao Canchang stepped down in 2017 due to the Qingfu case and served as a consultant to Baojia Group, and was promoted by Su Zhenchang as the chairman of the first gold on the grounds of "meritocracy" last year. Not only did the opposition People's Party ask Su Zhenchang to explain, but even Xie Jinhe, chairman of Caixin Media, who had a good relationship with Tsai Ing-wen, also wrote an article suggesting that Tsai should pay attention to the problem of improper transfer of benefits from the financial bank and investigate the process of making decisions on Liao Canchang's personnel case.
Luo Wenjia, who has stepped down from the post of secretary general of the DPP, pointed out in an interview with the media last month that the DPP has changed a lot from the party culture, factional ecology, and even the values of political parties, and "the DPP, which was bumping into the streets and full of ideas, has now become a secular political party." He also sighed that the DPP has some boundaries in handling things beyond his understanding, "I think this will happen sooner or later."
Moreover, a large number of government bidding cases recently exposed by the media are "royal jury members", allowing pro-green industry players and the media to win the bids, and Li Houqing, deputy secretary general of the semi-official Cultural Federation, has handled nearly 300 bidding cases in the past three years, which has aroused social discussion, and the DPP has actually replied that "the KMT used to be like this in the past", forgetting that the KMT was spurned and lost power in its early years as black money.
Tsai Ing-wen's second term has just begun, and she has successively reminded the comrades in the party not to let the script of "ruling the country in an all-round way must become corrupt" come true, and asked everyone to recall that the last time some comrades of the DPP were involved in malpractice cases, and the DPP was labeled as "corrupt." She hoped that it would not repeat the same mistakes.
Chen Shui-bian's wife, Wu Shuzhen, who received the SOGO gift certificate, is not far away, and relevant people predict that there are still unexploded bombs in the GOLD FLOW of the SOGO case, which may include government personnel, as well as contradictions and disputes between Dasu and Xiaosu, and it is really not easy for the Tsai government and the DPP to keep the signboard of "clean, diligent, and love the countryside"!
