In connection with the ghost signature case, five individuals, including Huang Lü-jin-ru, chairperson of the Kuomintang's Taipei City Party Committee, were detained and indicted on charges of forgery and violating the Personal Data Protection Act. The Taipei District Court held its first hearing today. Huang Lü-jin-ru, who had originally pleaded not guilty, immediately changed her plea to admit all charges after just ten minutes. Her lawyer, citing her advanced age, requested bail for her release. However, prosecutors believe that Huang Lü-jin-ru's detention remains necessary, as co-defendant Lai Yi-ren, who will be summoned this afternoon, has denied any wrongdoing.

Attorney Liu Yiling of Fidelity Law Firm stated that Huang Lu Jinru had previously pleaded not guilty in the ghost-signed forgery case, but may have changed her plea today to guilty in an effort to secure bail. However, since co-defendants Lai Yiren and others continue to deny any wrongdoing, the defendants' statements remain inconsistent. Given Huang Lu Jinru's influence, the possibility of collusion or destruction of evidence cannot be ruled out if bail is granted. Therefore, the judge will take this into consideration when assessing whether to grant bail.
