Hsinchu Mayor Kao Hong-an was sentenced to seven years and four months in prison and deprived of political rights for four years in the first instance for fraudulently collecting assistant fees while serving as a legislator. The case was appealed to the High Court, where the panel of judges believed that the key provisions of the case were unconstitutional and ruled on January 3 to suspend the trial. and filed a request for interpretation of the Constitution to the Constitutional Court. The High Procuratorate was dissatisfied with this and filed an appeal, which was rejected by the High Court and was determined not to be allowed to appeal.
Li Yusheng, a lawyer at Fidelity Law Firm, said that the second-instance judge of this case took the initiative to request a constitutional interpretation and ruled to suspend the trial. The prosecutor was dissatisfied and filed an appeal, which was rejected. Therefore, before the Grand Justice makes a constitutional interpretation or rejects the request for constitutional interpretation, this case is suspended. The case will be heard by the Grand Justices, and it may take 1-2 years or even longer for them to hear the case. If the case is not decided until 2026, since Gao Hongan has not been sentenced, he still has the right to be the mayor of Hsinchu. eligibility to run for election.
