TPP protests penalties for misreporting political donations
TPP protests penalties for misreporting political donations
2025-03-20
The Control Yuan has fined former Taiwan People’s Party Chair Ko Wen-je NT$3.74 million for falsely declaring political donations. It has also ordered the confiscation of NT$55.79 million in campaign funds. On Thursday, Huang Shan-shan, who had been Ko’s campaign director at the time, called foul play. She says the party had attempted to submit corrections to the political declarations, but was never granted permission to do so.
Huang Shan-shan directed choice words at the Control Yuan, arguing against the heavy penalties imposed on Ko Wen-je for falsely declaring political donations.

Then Ko Wen-je campaign director
The first time the declaration was made, some accountants filed inaccurate reports, making Ko Wen-je himself a victim in this issue. We requested the Control Yuan to let us submit corrections to Oct. 1, Jan. 14 and Feb. 5, but they have not yet agreed to it. We will seek the relevant remedies in accordance with the law.

The report from the Control Yuan was a slap in the face for them. It’s not just a problem with Tuanmu Cheng, who was the accountant then. There are probably more accomplices involved in falsifying and inflating the reports.
Huang also questioned why current and former Presidents, Lai Ching-te and Tsai Ing-wen’s election campaign merch operations weren’t scrutinized the same way as Ko’s campaign.

Then-campaign director
There should be a nation-wide standard. What about Lai Ching-te and Tsai Ing-wen’s merch stores? It’s double standards if those weren’t also going to be investigated.
Justin Wu
DPP spokesperson
It’s now been half a year, and still they’re not giving any explanations. Now that the competent authority is penalizing them, they’re trying to let themselves off the hook, smearing other two presidential campaigns and trying to drag others down and shifting the focus. They’re being really irresponsible.
The DPP retorts that Ko’s team should not drag others down too, and that they should explain themselves as soon as possible.

申報不實! 柯文哲政治獻金案違法 監院裁罰374萬.沒入5579萬
2025-03-20
監察院認定民眾黨總統擬參選人柯文哲，政治獻金申報不實，罰鍰374萬元、沒入5579萬，今天時任柯競辦總幹事黃珊珊親上火線，稱3度要求補正都未獲同意，將提行政訴訟。
黃珊珊親上火線，砲口對準監察院，因為柯文哲政治獻金申報不實遭重罰。

“第一次申報的時候，因為有一些會計師申報不實，那柯文哲本身是受害人。10/1、1/14、2/5，都陸續向監察院要求補正，但是到今天都沒有接獲同意。我們會依法提出相關的救濟。”
[[政治評論員 吳靜怡]]
“監察院的報告，就是賞了他們大的巴掌，這不只是(當時的會計師)端木正一個人的問題。虛報浮報這過程中，恐怕有更多的共犯。”
民眾黨不只槓上監察院，還直指綠營，認為競選期間賴桑小舖、小英商號也得一體適用。

“應該全國一致，之前賴桑小舖、小英商號，你們要不要查？如果不查就是雙標。”
[[民進黨發言人 吳崢]]
“現在過了半年了，一個交代都沒給，現在主管機關要去對你裁罰，又跑出來想要甩鍋，推卸責任說去查A、去查B，想把別人也拉下水、轉移焦點，這都不是一個負責任的態度。”
民進黨反擊別想甩鍋，民眾黨蠟燭兩頭燒，前主席貪汙案開庭，競選帳目依舊解釋不清。
