Case Background and Legal Disputes

The Jinghua City investigation cannot be completed in 2 months? Ying Xiaowei and Shen Qingjing applied for postponement of detention│One TV News, Times News

The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office investigated the Jinghua City case. Prosecutors applied to the court to extend their detention in accordance with the law for Taipei City Councilor Ying Xiaowei and Weiking Group Chairman Shen Qingjing, whose detention period was about to expire. Yesterday (23rd) night, Shen Qingjing passed 3 and a half months. After an hour's defense, he was remanded to the Taipei Detention Center. As for Ying Xiaowei, an adjournment hearing was held this morning. The prosecutor believed that there was a gap in the criminal facts confessed by Ying Xiaowei and his accomplices and witnesses, which was enough to conclude that there was a risk of collusion. If Failure to extend the detention may further obscure the case and make it difficult to effectively pursue prosecution.

A criminal lawyer from Fidelity Law Firm stated that the court currently considers the defendants in this case to have a very high level of suspicion of committing a crime. As a result, other defendants will likely be treated similarly, also deemed to have a high level of suspicion, and to prevent collusion or destruction of evidence, the likelihood of their detention being extended will significantly increase. The court's decision on whether to extend detention primarily considers the strength of the suspicion of a crime and the possibility of collusion or flight.

Opinion of Fidelity Law Firm

Lawyers at Fidelity Law Firm advise that in similar cases, one should not only look at the news headlines, but also return to the evidence, legal requirements, procedural stages, and the client's actual objectives. If the case has entered the court, district prosecutor's office, investigation bureau, or negotiation process, the earlier the information is gathered, the more room for maneuver it will retain.

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.
