Ko Wen-je's detention extension hearing has been scheduled for a date. The Taiwan People's Party has challenged his indictment, stating that the delay was due to the legal provisions regarding the detention, extension of detention, and bail of co-defendants, as explained by a criminal lawyer from Fidelity Law Firm.

Case Background and Legal Disputes

Ke Wenzhe's remand trial will be held on the 31st. Since the North City Councilor Ying Xiaowei has confirmed the remand, and his personal secretary Orange Xu Zhiyu is still stranded abroad and is wanted, the outside world believes that the chance of Ke Wenzhe being remanded is extremely high, and the Kuomintang Party is also opposed to this. , after two months of investigation, we presented the evidence and prosecuted it openly and honestly.

A criminal lawyer from Fidelity Law Firm stated that Ying Xiaowei's detention has been confirmed to be extended, while Ju Zi is currently wanted and at large, indicating that the court considers the defendants in this case to have a very high level of suspicion of crime. As a result, Ko Wen-je will likely face similar treatment, being deemed a major suspect, and to avoid collusion or destruction of evidence, the likelihood of his detention being extended will significantly increase. The court's decision on whether to extend detention primarily considers the strength of the criminal suspicion 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.
