Here is the English translation of the article, with the requested name and term formatting:

• Ke Wen-je (柯文哲) Restricted from Leaving the Country to Attend Son's University of Tokyo Graduation Ceremony: Ke Wen-je stated that the Taipei District Court is scheduled to announce its verdict on March 26. Recently, his lawyers applied to the Taipei District Court to lift his travel restriction so he could travel to Japan to attend his son's graduation ceremony at the University of Tokyo on April 26. He clarified that he has no intention of fleeing.

• Electronic Monitoring System Issues and Reporting Procedures: Ke Wen-je mentioned that due to a hand problem (similar to housewife's eczema, causing his fingerprints to disappear), he has changed his electronic monitoring reporting method from fingerprint scans to selfies. He also criticized the related electronic monitoring equipment, which cost tens of millions, for frequently malfunctioning and even having poor reception in basements.

• High Bail and Fines: Ke Wen-je's bail was as high as NTD 70 million, far exceeding that of the principal suspect in the "Prince Group" fraud and money laundering case involving billions of NTD (whose maximum bail was NTD 5 million). Furthermore, he faces a fine of NTD 50 million and forfeiture of over NTD 60 million sought by prosecutors, as well as a fine of NTD 2.47 million and confiscation of NTD 55.79 million from the Control Yuan, totaling hundreds of millions in fines. He lamented, "There's too much money; I don't even feel it."

• Controversy over Political Surveillance by the Agency Against Corruption and Department of Government Ethics:

  • The Agency Against Corruption (AAC) issued a press release denying media reports that the Taipei City Government Department of Government Ethics had conducted "political surveillance" on Ke Wen-je through the "anti-corruption single line" system, claiming that the Department of Government Ethics was merely cooperating with the investigative needs of the Taipei District Prosecutors Office and performing its duties in accordance with the law.
  • Ke Wen-je, however, accused the Taipei City Government Department of Government Ethics of providing prosecutors with materials, including his calendar from before he became Taipei Mayor (2013), and even private itineraries. He questioned whether the Department of Government Ethics had begun collecting information on him before he took office, calling it "political surveillance."
  • He also pointed out that the press release issued by the Taipei City Government Department of Government Ethics regarding this controversy contained strange wording, referring to him as "former leader Ke" (科前領導) and misspelling "Taipei District Prosecutors Office" as "Taipei Non-District Prosecutors Office" (台北非地檢署), questioning its professionalism and even jokingly suggesting it was "infiltrated by the CCP."

• Prosecutors' Promotions and Judicial Injustice:

  • Ke Wen-je noted that Lin Shao-hong (林紹鴻), the head of the Taipei City Government Department of Government Ethics responsible for his case at the time, was promoted to Deputy Director of the Agency Against Corruption after the case was handled. He also heard rumors that Lin Shao-hong's promotion was due to lobbying by high-ranking Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) officials, implying that those who handled Ke Wen-je's cases tended to get promoted.
  • He mentioned that he had filed a complaint with the Prosecutors' Evaluation Committee against prosecutor Lin Chun-yen (林俊炎) for alleged "deceptive search warrant application," "improper interrogation," and "falsifying transcripts." Lin Chun-yen had previously been subject to an evaluation request in the Shen Ching-ching (沈慶京) case, and although he was found to have violated ethical guidelines, the circumstances were deemed minor, and he was not disciplined. He was later promoted to Chief Prosecutor of the New Taipei District Prosecutors Office.
  • Ke Wen-je expressed little confidence in the outcome of the current evaluation, believing that the Ministry of Justice and the DPP government have adopted a non-responsive and delaying attitude toward this case.

• Political Donation Suspicion in the Jinhua City Case (NTD 2.1 Million):

  • The indictment alleges that the Weiking Group instructed seven individuals to each transfer NTD 300,000, totaling NTD 2.1 million, into the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) political donation account, as a quid pro quo for Ke Wen-je's alleged favoritism in the Jinhua City case.
  • Ke Wen-je refuted this, stating that the TPP's "official position donation" system only began in 2021, while this donation occurred in 2020, making the timing inconsistent. He emphasized that he only learned about this donation through newspapers after he was detained and had no prior knowledge of it.
  • He questioned the logic, stating that if the Jinhua City case involved profits of hundreds of billions, offering only NTD 2.1 million as a quid pro quo, transferred into a public political donation account, and without his knowledge, defied common sense and was an insult to his political integrity.

• Suspicion of NTD 15 Million Cash Delivery in the Jinhua City Case:

  • The prosecution's indictment alleges that Shen Ching-ching personally delivered NTD 15 million in cash to Ke Wen-je at "a certain location" between October 19 and November 1, 2022.
  • Ke Wen-je revealed that the prosecution initially claimed the cash was delivered at the "Jinhua City groundbreaking ceremony" but changed their story to "a certain location" due to the stringent security around the Taipei Mayor.
  • He pointed out that the indictment lacked any evidence (witnesses, physical evidence, surveillance footage, photos) to prove this cash delivery, and that Shen Ching-ching's secretary's record of "1500 small savings" was insufficient evidence.
  • Lawyers' investigations revealed that Shen Ching-ching's bank accounts showed large cash transactions monthly (e.g., NTD 36.4 million withdrawn in January, NTD 30 million in March), indicating that prosecutors selectively disclosed information and took things out of context.

• Non-Disclosure of Investigation and Media Leaks:

  • Ke Wen-je questioned why the investigation should have been confidential ("non-disclosure of investigation") but details of the case were "chaotically disclosed" to the media, especially Mirror Media, which repeatedly published detailed reports consistent with the indictment. He had questioned the source of the prosecutors' information but received no response.
  • He also mentioned that prosecutors even asked his wife, Dr. Chen Pei-chi (陳佩琪), private questions such as "Has anyone slept in the master bedroom bed in your house?", but the relevant transcripts were never made public.

• Illegal Search of Taiwan People's Party Central Party Headquarters:

  • When investigating authorities searched Ke Wen-je's residence and office, they simultaneously searched the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) central party headquarters, even though the headquarters does not have a dedicated office for Ke Wen-je. The Taipei District Prosecutors Office initially denied a full search of the party headquarters, but CCTV footage showed investigative personnel "rummaging through" the party headquarters during the search.
  • It was particularly questionable that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) central party headquarters actually posted on its Facebook page to defend the Taipei District Prosecutors Office, explaining the legality and scope of its search warrant. Ke Wen-je questioned how the DPP knew the contents of the search warrant, criticizing it for becoming a spokesperson for the prosecutor's office.

• Judicial Process Injustice and Impact on Civil Servant Morale:

  • Ke Wen-je criticized the injustice of the judicial process, stating that prosecutors were "bloodthirsty" and only sought to convict him, disregarding evidence favorable to the defendant. He claimed they handled the case by distorting, taking statements out of context, and piecing together information. Even after the indictment, they repeatedly added "supplementary statements of reasons" (22 times), making him feel like he was being "detained and coerced for confessions."
  • He worried that this case would lead to a chilling effect on civil servants, making them less proactive and enthusiastic for fear of implication, further eroding government efficiency and severely damaging public trust in the judiciary.

• Concerns over the Current Political Situation of the Nation:

  • Ke Wen-je expressed concern about President Lai Ching-te's (賴清德) style of governance, believing that Lai Ching-te might "lead the country to division" and even refuse to "countersign, promulgate, or implement" bills passed by the Legislative Yuan, effectively "abolishing the Legislative Yuan" and leading the country towards authoritarianism.
  • He lamented the silence of civil society and legal scholars on this phenomenon, believing that many civic groups and scholars have been co-opted by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
  • He called on society to be vigilant and prevent the country from repeating historical mistakes like Hitler's Germany or China's Cultural Revolution, emphasizing that national leaders should unite citizens, not create division.

• Call for Public Attention and Oversight: Huang Kuo-Chang (黃國昌) called on netizens to visit the "Truth on Trials (truthontrial.org)" website to download the PDF document titled "Exposing the Mastermind Behind the Jinhua City Case: A Book on State Apparatus Fabrication and the Tragedy of the Bureaucracy." This document provides details of the case, urban planning regulations, expert opinions, and the prosecution's reasons for indictment, aiming to break through traditional media blockades through online power and jointly supervise the judiciary to seek fairness and justice for the nation and society.
