[Formosa TV Breaking News] Social Center/Comprehensive Report: Ko Wen-je was detained for suspected corruption. His wife Chen Pei-chi said the day before that Ko Wen-je had hematuria and kidney damage, and was trying to get bail. The Taipei District Court is still deliberating, but it has ruled that Ko Wen-je’s detention will be extended for two months! Ko Wen-je's detention period after transfer is about to expire on April 1. The Taipei District Court believes that Ko Wen-je is at risk of fleeing, colluding with accomplices and witnesses, and has ruled to extend his detention. People's Party Chairman Huang Kuo-chang angrily criticized the ruling, saying that it damages the credibility of the judiciary and he will appeal.

Li Yusheng, an attorney at Fidelity Law Offices, said that if the defendant applies for medical parole and termination of detention at the same time, the court will usually hear the cases together and make a ruling together. However, in this case, since Ko Wen-je's family only submitted the application for medical parole yesterday afternoon, the application may have reached the judge yesterday evening or this morning. If a ruling to reject the application for medical parole was made immediately at noon today, the outside world might criticize the judge for being biased. Therefore, when the judge ruled to extend the detention today, he did not make a ruling on the medical parole part. However, referring to the situation where Shen Qingjing's application for medical parole was rejected, the possibility of Ko Wen-je being successfully released on medical parole is not high.
