(Reporters Xin Qisong, Wang Yinfang/Comprehensive Report) Tainan City Councilor Wang Jiazhen of the Kuomintang was sentenced to seven months in prison by the Tainan District Court in March this year on the charge of forgery and suspended for two years for overreporting the salary of a service assistant. An appeal was filed during the appeal period, and the whole case was declared settled at the end of April this year. In June this year, Wang Jiazhen was recruited by the Kuomintang to participate in the Tainan City Fifth District Legislative Election, and she will compete with Lin Junxian, the current legislator of the Democratic Progressive Party. However, due to the provisions of the “Public Officials Election and Recall Law”, those who have been sentenced to death due to a crime are not allowed to register as candidates during the probation period. This means that when the Central Election Commission announces the list of legislative candidates on the 15th, Wang Jiazhen will be eliminated, and Lin Junxian is expected to have an easy time Re-elected.
65-year-old Wang Jiazhen has been active in Tainan politics for a long time. She has served as a city councilor for seven terms before and after the merger of Tainan counties and cities. She has a very aggressive political style and prides herself on being honest in politics. In June this year, Wang Jiazhen was recruited by the Kuomintang to run for office. In the 2024 Legislative Election for Tainan City’s 5th District, he will challenge the current legislator Lin Junxian, a direct member of the Democratic Progressive Party’s presidential candidate Lai Qingde.
Wang Jiazhen said at the time that she had served as a member of the House of Representatives for seven terms and had already given up the suspense of running for the Legislative Council. “However, in about two months of ‘To be or Not to be’, the struggle between heaven and man over whether to choose or not to be made became more and more entangled.” , and finally decided to rush to a more ferocious battlefield.” Now it is reported that Wang Jiazhen is ineligible to register as a legislator because of a forged document lawsuit.
The year before last, Wang Jiazhen was suspected of fraudulently collecting assistant fees by the investigation unit. She was searched and interviewed on a large scale and posted a bail of 500,000 yuan. Wang Jiazhen felt humiliated. After posting bail, she made a big move and held a press conference to express her innocence, saying that she had been in politics for more than 20 years. , has always been honest and self-responsible, with no corruption, no headshots, and no fraudulent claims.
The prosecutor later found out that Wang Jiazhen conspired with the director of the service office to overreport the salaries of six other assistants because two assistants surnamed Shen and Jing in the service office had accumulated credit card debts and had their salaries deducted, and then transferred the difference to two more assistants. Instead of embezzling money for personal gain, they were charged with forgery of documents.
After the trial at the Tainan District Court, the judge considered that both Wang Jiazhen and the director of the service department confessed to the crime, and actually hired Shen and Jing as assistants. In addition, the motive, means and harm caused by the two people’s crimes were not great. In March this year, The two men were each sentenced to seven months in prison for the crime of forging documents, and both were fined and sentenced to two years of probation.
According to law, Wang Jiazhen could file an appeal within 20 days after receiving the judgment, but Wang Jiazhen did not file an appeal within the appeal period for some reason, resulting in the case being declared final. Although according to the main text of the judgment, Wang Jiazhen could apply for Yike’s fine and pay a fine of 210,000 yuan in exchange for jail time, the whole case took a dramatic turn because the court simultaneously announced that she would be suspended for two years.
According to Article 26, Paragraph 9, of the “Public Officials Election and Recall Act”, “A person who commits a crime other than the first to sixth paragraphs and is sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment or more shall have a fixed sentence and has not yet executed, has not completed the execution, is on probation or has the right to execute the sentence.” “Because the statute of limitations has expired, he is not allowed to register as a candidate.” Wang Jiazhen was sentenced to seven months in prison for the forgery case. After the entire case was decided without appeal, Wang was on probation and could not register as a candidate according to law. The Central Election Commission will review and announce the list of candidates for the legislative election on December 15. By then, Wang Jiazhen may be excluded from the list of candidates.
The Tainan District Court confirmed that the entire case has been finalized and will be transferred to the Tainan District Prosecutor’s Office for execution on April 23. The Tainan District Prosecutor’s Office also confirmed that Wang Jiazhen only paid NT$100,000 to the public treasury in accordance with the main text of the judgment and did not pay a fine. The entire case has been completed and Wang Jiazhen is currently on probation.
Lawyer Xie Yihan pointed out that Wang Jiazhen committed a total of 8 crimes of forging documents, all of which could have been punished with fines. However, Wang Ruo did not appeal to the second instance and did not pay the fine. Instead, he chose to have the whole case suspended and sentenced to death. Currently, Wang Jiazhen is still in jail. During the probation period, in accordance with the provisions of the “Public Officials Election and Recall Law”, you are not allowed to register as a candidate. If you have registered, you may also be revoked by the Central Election Commission.
“Will I forget what I did?” Wang Jiazhen said that from the beginning of this case, she made it clear that there was no corruption and that she helped two people she should take care of. She did not take any money into her pocket. She said prosecutors kept dragging out the case, asking her to plead guilty, and she would be charged if she didn’t. Wang Jiazhen emphasized that this law (should refer to the “Election and Recall Law”) is standard unconstitutional. As for the media, they can write whatever they want to report. Wang Jiazhen later issued a statement stating that since she entered politics, she has insisted on clean elections and clean politics, but there has always been an evil force that wants to annihilate her. For example, she was persecuted by the evil law in the assistant fee case. She chose to face the evil law calmly. This time Those who run for the Legislative Council also hope to enter the Legislative Yuan to revise evil laws and establish justice.
Wang Jiazhen pointed out that unexpectedly, after months of hard work, she was “again subjected to the destruction of the constitution, deprivation of civil rights, and the persecution of the newly revised election law. Is it democracy? Is it human rights? Is it democracy? Is it human rights?” She emphasized that she would not She has failed to live up to the expectations and love of her voters and her fellow citizens. Please wait and see what she will do. Please see how Wang Jiazhen fights against this evil force and works hard to establish a truly just and human rights country.
