A total of six councilors handed over bail Guo Zaiqin and said he was banned from seeing

The prosecution also interrogated Guo Zaiqin, Yang Zhiqiang, Huang Yiping, Gao Meixian (wife of Li Zhenguo), and Lin Shijie (not yet present). After the interrogation, Gao Meixian paid 100,000 yuan and the intermediary Huang Yiping (Li Wenjun's friend) 200,000 yuan to post bail.

KMT city councilors Lin Meiyan and Cai Shuhui were also arraigned yesterday as witnesses.

The investigation also found that Yang Zhiqiang (formerly the head of the Advisory Group of the City Council's Non-Party Alliance and the president of Yuanshan Enterprise) was suspected of being in the middle of contacting the councilors who instigated rebellion. His company in Tainan was investigated and found an ice bag containing 8 million cash. Yuan and Yang couldn't explain the source of the funds clearly. The investigators suspected that it was related to bribes, and traced the flow of funds after the seizure.

After the interrogation, the prosecution filed an application to the court for arrest and injunction on the grounds that Yang was suspected of bribery in the election strike and that he was in danger of colluding with witnesses and fleeing.

Lin Shijie, chairman of Nanshi District Fisherman's Association, did not appear in the case

Guo Zaiqin, former member of the Central Executive Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party (retired from the party), was suspected of playing a manipulative role. After the hearing, the prosecution also applied to the court for detention on suspicion of bribery and collusion.

As for the whereabouts of Lin Shijie, the chairman of the Fisherman's Association in Tainan City, whose whereabouts are unknown and who has not yet appeared in the case, the prosecutor said that if Lin has been refusing to appear in the case, arrest is not ruled out.

It is understood that Yang Zhiqiang is the head of the Advisory Group of the Non-Party Alliance of the City Council. Because of his forthright personality, he has some friendship with members of various parties.

Guo Zaiqin was considered to be doing his best to help Qiu Lili in the election of the chairman and deputy speaker, and contacted Yang Zhiqiang to help contact and instigate the blue camp members.

The cash flow of the consideration is not clear, pending the breakthrough of the task force

The investigation found that Li Wenjun, the former deputy speaker of the KMT’s South City, and his friend Huang Yiping had contact with the Qiu Lili camp. They were also entrusted with trying to lure KMT member Fang Yifeng, until Lin Shijie and Huang Yiping met Fang Yifeng to discuss changing the object of support before the election day of the speaker last year. , After the incident broke out, the investigation found out that Lin Shijie was also involved in the incident and was involved in intimidation.

Although some MPs, defendants or witnesses revealed during the investigation that they were contacted by the Qiu camp and discussed the price, the price flow is still unclear, and a breakthrough is still awaited by the investigation and investigation team.
