Ko Wen-je, former mayor of Taipei, has been indicted on serious charges related to property development and campaign finance, potentially facing over 28 years in prison.
The Taipei District Prosecutors Office has unveiled accusations against Ko, including receiving bribes totaling T$17.1 million and misusing over T$68 million in political donations associated with his campaign.
Despite previously denying his involvement in corrupt practices, Ko has acknowledged some misreporting of campaign funds, leading to significant legal ramifications for him and his party.
The legal troubles for Ko and his party, the TPP, come amidst growing political tension in Taiwan, particularly regarding the influence of the Beijing-friendly Kuomintang.
