Case Background and Legal Disputes

Peng Zhensheng's Unexplained Assets Await Investigation; Prosecutor Requests Detention; Court Hearing Today | Next TV News, Era News Reporter Cai Yijie

The Beijing Prosecutor's Office is investigating the Jinghua City scandal. Former Taipei City Vice Mayor Peng Zhensheng was involved in crimes such as profiteering and unidentified sources of property in accordance with the Corruption Crimes Regulations. There was a risk of annihilation of evidence and collusion, so the prosecutor requested a postponement of detention. The North Court has opened court proceedings this morning and is expected to hold an adjournment hearing in the afternoon.

The detention period for the defendant in the Jinghua City Fraud Case is approaching. On the 22nd, the prosecutor has applied to the North Hospital to extend the detention of Ying Xiaowei and Shen Qingjing, and also requested to suspend the detention of Wu Shunmin on bail. The North Court held an extension hearing for Shen Qingjing and Ying Xiaowei on the 23rd and 24th, and it is expected to decide whether to continue their detention before the expiration of their detention. As for Wu Shunmin, it was ruled on the 25th that he would be released on bail of 5 million yuan and restricted from residence.

A criminal lawyer from Fidelity Law Firm stated that due to the wide scope of this case, the likelihood of Ying Hsiao-wei and Shen Ching-ching being detained for an extended period is very high before the facts of the crime are fully clarified. Furthermore, if Ying Hsiao-wei and Shen Ching-ching are detained for an extended period, it indicates that some criminal facts and financial transactions still need to be clarified, so the chances of Ko Wen-je and Peng Chen-sheng also being detained for an extended period are also very high.

Opinion of Fidelity Law Firm

What should be confirmed first when encountering similar cases?

• First, organize the event timeline, notices, contracts, chat logs, photos, videos, and payment information.
• Confirm the current stage of the process: it may be just a consultation, you may have been interviewed, you may have received a summons, you may have entered into court proceedings, or you may need to file a lawsuit to seek compensation.
• Assess whether there are immediate risks such as statute of limitations, evidence preservation, detention, imprisonment, settlement negotiations, or media exposure.
