The deadline for KO Wen-je to file a complaint was originally set for November 10, but has been extended to today.<\/p>\n<p>The newspaper said Ko Wen-je&#8217;s lawyers, Zheng Shenyuan, Xiao Yihong and Lu Zhengyi, had been silent for a while after KO Wen-je was ordered to extend his detention and the investigation was again leaked. On November 5th Ko Wen-je&#8217;s appointed lawyer issued a joint statement, \u201cWhether or not to lodge a protest against the decision of the Taipei District Court to extend the detention will be decided after the [ pending ] discussion between the defence and Mr. Ko Wen-je,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>The statement was issued during a \u201cPeriod of hesitation,\u201d but KO Wen-je must decide today whether to file or waive a protest against the decision to extend his detention, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>According to an analysis by the newspaper, if Ko Wen-je filed a protest against the extension of detention, it was in contrast to the failure of co-conspirator Shen Qingjing, Taipei City Councilor Ying Xiaowei and Taipei&#8217;s former Vice Mayor Peng Zhensheng to file a protest against the extension of detention, his protest may not be subject to suspension of custody. On the other hand, if Ko Wen-je does not protest, he may further demonstrate the extra-judicial political effect of the prosecution&#8217;s \u201cConfession-taking\u201d, with unpredictable consequences, it affects the trend of the corruption case and the breach of trust case of political contribution in Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>Wang Hongwei, deputy secretary-general of the KMT&#8217;s legislature, said on November 2 that prosecutors had been investigating for two months and that KO Wen-je, chairman of the Democratic Party of China, was still in custody, no evidence was found that would have killed Ko Wen-je, otherwise the prosecution could have charged Ko Wen-je without further delay. Wang Hongwei said, such handling of cases, let the outside world very doubt, think is a certain degree of political manipulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to reports by the United daily and other Taiwanese media on November 11, Democratic Party chairman Ko Wen-je violated the law to grant benefits to Shen Qingjing, president of&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3109,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268,265],"tags":[173,1039,512,1038,356],"views":313,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3108"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3108"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3110,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3108\/revisions\/3110"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
